Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!

Hi there !!! Welcome to Day 5 of the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks blog tour!  I'm very excited to be included in Volume 11!   I'm so happy to be one of a handful of people who have been included in all magazines! 

QMMS-150044-cover_200_66012
 
My block was inspired by this cute vintage canister I saw on vacation.  Love everything about it, the cute heart shaped leaves, simple posy shape and the little scallop border it's sitting on!

I love the simple vintage style, and I feel like I captured that in my block!  I can just see this little pot of flowers sitting on the window sill of an little old cottage!

    Our little hamlet didn't even have 1 store with this magazine when I went looking for it almost a year ago. I guess after thoroughly searching and asking at many stores that carry other magazines - I now see it making an appearance :)! I'll have to check it out!
