Strawberry Quilt

My daughter LOVES strawberries.  When I saw this cute quilt pattern, I knew I had to buy it for her.  Last week we chose fabrics for the quilt.  I am hoping to make it this summer.  We'll see...I'm better at buying than actually sewing and especially quilting my projects.



That cute strawberry print is for the back.  We'll use the pink chevron for blocks and binding.

Civil War Quilt--Block 8

2023 update: I no longer have this pattern. It is still commercially available from the designer. Please do not ask me for the pattern; please go honor the creator and purchase a legal copy.

This block is called Crown of Thorns.  It was hard to finish.  I don't care for the colors, especially the stripe.  It makes me think of bugs.  The fabrics  shrunk oddly as I was pressing, both before and after piecing.  The blocks are lumpy and not perfect and I am okay with that!
