Today is my day for the Blog Hop and it's the very first blog hop that I have ever participated in. Thanks to Madame Samm and Jane for organizing this hop. These are the blocks I made for the Red, White & Blue Blog Hop:
 |
| Heart log cabin block. I just made this block up myself and I added blue rick rack around the heart with red French knots. |
 |
| This is a Folded Log Cabin block. This is the first time I tried this technique and it was fun to try. Amazing how thick and heavy it becomes with all the folded fabric, the muslin base and the amount of fabric used. Used up a lot of scraps for this one. |

| I found this block a few days ago in my UFO box. I had made this one several years ago. |

| Here is another block I found in my UFO box. This one was actually published in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine along with about 100 other blocks several years ago. |

| The last one from my UFO box. Geesh, you should see all the other blocks and tops that were amongst these UFO's. I better get cracking on all those! |

Patriotic Dresden Plate. I added the Pledge of Allegiance fabric to the center by sewing that part in reverse applique. Then I added a little touch of hand blanket stitching and French knots.
Here is the blog hop schedule for today, which is the last day of the hop: |
