Traditional Block: English Ivy Revisited

English Ivy antique quilts in museum collections 

date back to 1830...

though I'm still on the hunt for even older versions.

In my research, I came across the same pattern

entitled Clover Blossom.

RSVP quilt block: English Ivy

With this information, I was able to

track down free instructions:

Clover Blossom on the Quilter's Casche FREE 12" finished pattern.

Here's to hoping you enjoy the block

as much as I have.

Happy Piecing,

FWQAL Blocks

Last night the blocks were arranged for a group photo...

not necessarily in the final setting, just to see where things are.

40 blocks complete.

Happy Piecing,

Redo.

This is what happens 

when mindless piecing 

and skipping the iron

sound like a great way to piece.

The left and right middle pieces 

were accidentally solid because I was 'in the zone'.

SO, my friendly seam ripper made the situation

right but because I finger pressed my seams

and skipped a proper pressing, the whole middle is off.

It looks like a redo and I'm laughing because this

should have been such an easy block.

Tomorrow is another day.
