Stonefield's Quilt

The next group of Stonefield's blocks have been started, there aren't any completely pieced blocks in this group. There are several blocks that are pieced then have applique added so I pieced those blocks this week.

Blocks 14 & 15 are called Bordered 3/8" Hexagon.


Blocks 16 & 17 are named Square Peg in a Round Hole.


Blocks 21, 22 & 23 are called O for Oscar.







The blocks will look much more interesting when the applique is added.

These blocks are not yet trimmed to size, I'll do that after they're completely finished. These blocks were all pieced by the foundation paper pieced method.

Come back Sunday and see how many of the blocks are appliqued and finished by then.

Stonefields was designed by Susan Smith.

Stonefields, Blocks 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13

Prepping these little applique blocks takes so much time while stitching them goes fast. This week I completed five blocks . . .

Blocks 9 & 10 - Gateau de St Honore

Block 11 - Willie's Birthday

There were supposed to have been two Willie's Birthday blocks but I don't like the design so I only made one. Then I made a mistake with the one block I did piece, I traced the design the wrong way 😖. I went ahead and used the pieces even though they're spinning the wrong direction. I'll let you know if Susan Smith sends me an email of complaint.

Blocks 12 & 13 - Posy Pot


I'm trimming each block to size after it's completed so all they're ready go sew into a flimsy when all the blocks are finished.

I think the Posy Pot block is the cutest block of the blocks completed so far. I made two of them since I only made one block 11.

The blocks finish at 6".

Stonefields was designed by Susan Smith and can be purchased online from various places, just google it. My pattern was kindly gifted to me several years ago by Nanette after she finished her Stonefields quilt, she had Rebecca Grace quilt it.

I was in Wakarusa last week so I took pictures of the quilt gardens. The first garden is the one at Grandma's Pantry.


And the garden in downtown Wakarusa.
