Pennsylvania Blocks

 I had found this block on the free website, Quilter's Cache.
Was looking around for a 12 inch block using 2.5 inch strips.
Well turns out Terry has set up a SEW ALONG for a top using this block too!

I am using some Jo Morton fabrics with my blocks.  Colors are blacks and dark reds. Adding some gold/cheddar with sashing(if I do) and binding. I plan for this quilt to be on  our bed.
It is a full size antique oak bed.

Not sure if will do sashing or no but the above pic and this one are the candidates.
This one also has a bitty red bud on it.

Using these two blocks, alternating.
Bought these wonderful fabrics at AC Moore in Newport News. Good deal!

This is the center square focus fabric for my blocks.
I have cut out enough for 12 blocks. Hope to get them sewn up so I can decide how I wish to proceed with the top.


Had to add a baby pic! Sweet baby taking a nap on stool cushion!

    Sweet kitty cat...I'm smitten! Great fabrics and you said AC Moore...I had no idea they carried the good stuff! I'll have to check it out next time I see a store. The one in Greensboro closed.
