We're bringing you another blog hop this week!
Six designers have been playing with the Vintage 30's Ruby's Treasures collection by Barbara J. Eikmeier. They've chosen blocks from Ruby Short McKim's book, 101 Patchwork Patterns (download here--this is such a fantastic resource for blocks). You'll also have a chance to win some of this beautiful fabric for yourself!
Today's block was stitched by Donna Lynn Thomas, and it has plenty of movement--watch it spin! If the math side of quilting intrigues you, Donna shares how she enlarged the block to 12" square finished. Head over to her blog: you'll see her second colorway and learn how she chose which prints to use to create a 3-D effect, try out her bonus project, and enter to win a fabric bundle for yourself!
Here's the schedule for the blog hop--be sure to visit each day!
