It's March 1st and it's time for Blogger Girls Block of the Month block #3 . It's hard to believe that we are on block 3 already! I am pla...
For her month in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Lisa provided several different floral fabrics (from the line "Peace on Earth" by Three Sisters for Moda.) She asked for pretty much any 12" block. She mentioned that one block pattern that she liked was Bear Paw as well as some other traditional blocks. The block is Brother Bear/Sister Sun from Quilter's Cache. It's almost entirely paper pieced. I was drawn to it for Lisa because the corners are from a Bear Paw block and the overall look is traditional. I also thought it would work well with the fabrics that she sent. I stuggled when it came to picking a background fabric (cream, white, off-white...) but in the end just went with plain white as it seemed safest. This block took a while because it has so many pieces but I think it was worth it.

Unfinished sampler. Sampler has an elaborate floral border of two vines bearing several varieties of exotic flowers (and johnny-jump-ups). The foliage grows from an urn and culminates at the top as a rose. The center is empty, and it is signed "Elizabeth Hanskins Marlborough, December 16 - 1823" at the bottom.
Three vases are aligned across the bottom, each with very tall, spindly bunches of exotic flowers which rise up and fill the entire ground. With an inscription at the very top: Sarah Afflick her Work made in the 7 year of her age and bottom: And in the year of our Lord 1796
