BH3 Block 55 - Wine Not
BH3 Block 55 - Wine Not
Jen Kingwell makes scrap quilts the way quilters used to do it, pulling bits of fabric from a basket. The result is a glorious mix of color and pattern, distinctive and one-of-a-kind.
I rest my case.
The quilt is titled Dear Jen, and it's a new pattern book - JKD8625. There are seventy-five blocks, each made three times. I love the dark/light setting, particularly the subtlety of it. (Can you tell I'm a big fan?)
Jen's last block for Block Heads 3 is Wine Not.
It can be made in all four sizes - 4", 6", 8" and 12". For the link to the instructions to Wine Not - Jen Kingwell's Blog.
Instead of sharing blocks, I'm going to share some of Jen's fabric. Including the in-shops-now Winkipop.
The quilt is titled Antique Stars, and the pattern is in the Jenny From One Block book - JKD5262.
Jen uses a lot of wovens in her quilts, and one of her coming-in-April collections is Low Volume Wovens. Last year, she created Grainline Wovens. They were a very fine, thin stripe in vibrant colors.
Color with a bit of texture. (I might have stashed some of these colors. Just saying.)
Today's block? The link to the instructions can be found here - Jen Kingwell's Blog.
The Block Heads 3 Archive is just about complete, only one more block. (The Archive is updated every Wednesday and Friday - blog link on Wednesday, pattern link on Friday.)
If you missed Block Heads 2, all of those blocks can be found here - Block Heads 2 Archive.
Have you kept up with what the designers have made, and shared? A few finished quilts are starting to pop up, and from what I've seen so far... they're spectacular.
