You are just 5 simple blocks away from a stunning heirloom! This month the Island Batik ambassadors were challenged to make a timeless quilts with an arrangement of blocks and the results are breathtaking!

As part of the Island Batik program I am sent the materials for the monthly challenges. Thank you to the generous sponsors, Lumin Fabrics, Aurifil Thread, Oliso Home, and Schmetz Needles!

I’m thrilled with the surprise fabric I received, Cherry Blossoms by Carol Moellers Designs. This collection truly is a wonderful blend of blues pinks and browns with floral designs.

I used Electric Quilt 8 to import the fabric swatches, and play with tons of layouts. I decided on 12 inch blocks. Here is the schedule I followed to complete the quilt:

Week 1: 1 Ohio Star Block

Week 2: 4 Hourglass blocks

Week 3: 4 Sawtooth Stars

week 4: 4 of each flying geese blocks

Week 5: 4 of each nine patch

Week 6:

• 2 inch inner border
• 6.5 inch outer border

Quilt finished at 75″ x 75″.
