  • Blocks.  Designed for
    pillowtops or quilt blocks.
  • 4x4 block sets: this is one
    example only.
  • designed  to form @ 7 3/4
    inch block.
  • rehooping will be required.
  • The sets will also have a
    variety of their own  
    borders. I only used the
    corners for my pieces, for
    better rehooping accuracy.
    see pic below.
  • measurements will be
    provided on each page set
    for you to review. I have
    also prepared larger
    combos which fit my Jef
    hoopsize. Those may or
    may not work for you. If you
    have a very large hoop and
    can get a whole block in a
    big hoop, stabelize well
    and go for it, if not,
    rehooping will be required,
    just take your time for a
    wonderful outcome.

More experienced quilters can enjoy preparing
great quilting layouts.


You can also prepare  blocks in a diamond in
your quilt or runner.

Mix and match large blocks for Quilted table
runners.
PP and PP2 would make beautiful patterns
 to finish framing the final quilt border
edges or for large bed pillowcase border
edges. Play with those to see what you can
come up with as these 2 sets are not sized
for the actual large block as frames.
Alternatively, the smaller block
sets can be used as fillers in
between these larger blocks.

The 2 blockmaker sets set will have
measurements in the  pdf,  so you will know
how to prepare your projects, to have the same
sizing as the larger blocks and be able to use
the block series block border pieces for extra
quilt blocks..
Polished Posies Block Series and General Info/Ideas
Each large block (1-4) can be used alone, for a quilt block, table runner, or pillow project, and
they are also sized to match other large ones in the series. The block maker sets are also
planned to coordinate in sizing.

I have chosen a 2 tone beige and pink theme throughout all my sets, but you can choose any
colors you like. The sets provide for multiple color combinations.  As an example, you can have
a large pink flower color combination and a yellow little bud theme, you don't have to follow
my color choice.

More experienced quilters will be able to make some wonderful keepsakes, combining blocks
and block sets, and adding quilting pattern variations.
I hope you'll enjoy sets these for all your creative ideas!
In progress pics:
Above: 1 block example. Corners added to extended it's overall size.

Below: Close up of seed beading. I added it to the smaller portions of the design,
the set looks wonderful w/o it, it was just something I wanted to do for extra
detail and texture.
Seed beading is time consuming, below are some other suggestions, look in
your craft box for some goodies, special family buttons, charms, etc. See what
matches your colors.
If you have any questions
at all... before any
purchase or during your
embroidery process, please
don't hesitate to ask.
I would love to see your
photos!

hugs,
