This is the last post about the blocks I tested for Vol. 10. Quiltmaker Magazine is wonderful to work with. I enjoy testing the patterns before the magazine is released because it challenges me to follow patterns. I rarely do. It expands my skills and keeps me to a deadline. I work by day so I have to budget my time. I also work at home quilting for others and I juggle my own projects in there too.

This last block isn’t finished. I cut out all of the pieces and lay them out to prove they were tested and ok. I then spilled the block in a box I keep my finished blocks in that’s why it looks this way. I am not very good at applique and I didn’t finish this block and I don’t think I will. At the end of test was my once in a lifetime trip to Scotland and I have been playing catch up since.

All that said, this is the elements of block Christmas In my Soul by C. Brown on page 35 of the magazine. It is a very contemporary take on a Christmas ornament and very original. I love this block!!! It is many little applique pieces but it goes together nicely. I like the candy cane border very much, it was easy to make!

Thank you for being a part of my blog tour, regularly scheduled blogs will resume.
