September’s Quilter’s Patch block-of-the-month assignment, the Greenhouse Block, was finished in plenty of time before the October block hits my mailbox. Geez … I haven’t been this “caught up” since January! It was the perfect block to work on when horrible Hurricane Harvey decided to pay our Texas Gulf Coast a visit. Plenty of hand applique was involved attaching each clamshell shingle bottom edge to the roof. If you have yet to work on this block, Edyta’s tip to use interfacing as a stabilizer made my life so much easier. I found a lightweight black interfacing which really worked well with the dark fabric used for the shingles.
Looking ahead to the finished quilt top … I’ve decided not to add the borders on my quilt top. I like to hang my quilts and change them out seasonally. The quilt, as featured, will be just too large to hang in my house. I’ll add narrow borders … perhaps piece the watering can … it is adorable … and add it to the back with a butterfly.
Next month … a sunflower block!

Cute.
Thanks Tina! 🙂
Is this the shop that has all those beautiful fat quarters at the show all having a fancy ribbon around them. Haven’t seen them at the Wisconsin show in the later years. Thank you.

You are correct Carol! They have come to the International Quilt Festival in Houston for as long as I can remember! Hope to see them this year.
You are doing so well! I’m still stuck on that horrible 8-pointed star flower block! I just am not motivated and have lost both my momentum and interest. I’m with you about the size – I probably will finish mine smaller too.
That 8-pointed star flower has been the most difficult so far. Glad it is over! Let me know when you want to be my guest blogger! 🙂
