This is my block and it's called Pavers Stone. I designed this block in the Pittsburgh airport on my way back from Spring Quilt Market last year. I was inspired by a carved design in the cement outside of the airport. I couldn't wait to get through security so I could sit down with a pad of paper and sketch it out. I just love the clean, simple lines of it ;)

ReplyDeleteDid you know you can count to 11 on your fingers? Starting with the little finger on your right hand and proceeding one digit at a time to your thumb, count backwards from 10 to 6 (10, 9, 8, 7, 6). Then with a twinkle in your eye, hold up your left hand and say: "And five more make 11."
ReplyDeleteQuilters have more fun!

ReplyDeleteEleven volumes- one hundred blocks each
To say that's a lot wouldn't be much of a reach
Inspiration for quilts can be found just anywhere
At the airport, the park or from the top of a stair
In a rug, a plant, maybe even a boat
These blocks are great and e won't even gloat.
Poachers stone by Melissa in many color ways will keep us all in stitches for at least eleven more days.
Silly auto correct - I typed paver's not poachers
DeleteLovely block - I could make 11 of them!!! :) would also be nice to frame a center square!
ReplyDeleteWell, you have done it again! I enjoy your block so much and just love it when the block pattern becomes a secondary design pops out. You are one very talented designer. I have some material that I have put aside just waiting for the right pattern and this is it. I just love the way you see something and then create it and share with all of us. Thank you for being a part of the QM's 100 Blocks, Volume 11 Blog Tour and giving us the chance to win a copy of this awesome priceless magazine plus 2 of yours.
