So I finished my blocks for Lynn's month. since Lynn has been making all of these fabulous and complicated Dear Jane blocks, I decided to make blocks based on vintage patterns.
first, a tumbler block:
and because I had extra fabric, a version of a Kansas Dugout block. I debated about making a spiderweb, since I've had them on the brain, but I had a photo of a Kansas Dugout quilt in my pictures folder and decided to go with that. since I had a picture, but no pattern, I just eyeballed things and amended the design to make it sewable on the machine.
ha, I just noticed that after a day of fiddling with different color layouts on this block, I sewed them in the wrong order. oh well, I like this too.

Get out of town! These are so cute! Nice work.
very cool blocks! They totally remind me of Lynn...love how you made the colors sing together with these layouts!
I LOVE that top block! It's so simple but contemporary in its way. Very beautiful work!
I really like these blocks. Well done! I'm sure she'll love them.
all these blocks are going to fit together so well. love both of them!
Wow Jenny! Those are pretty fantastic. I LOVE them. The tumbler one is so cute I think my mouth dropped a little when I saw it! I'm especially excited for the kansas dugout one because I have baseball on the brain right now... We're leaving for the world baseball classic tomorrow!
wow, really love the blocks!
Wow - these are both so great. The tumbler's block is just amazing! And I love the Dugout block - I've never seen it before!
love them both. did you have to use a template to cut out the tumbler blocks or is there a "shortcut" method?
:)
I love the tumbler! I would like to make a quilt with large ones.
I had a template for the tumbler block, but you wouldn't need one - just cut strips and then a consistent angle for the sides.
