Piecing Stonefields

Section 7 of Stonefields has finally been started! Here are the first 4 blocks which are titled Pyjama Party. 





I like to add fussy cutting to the center of blocks, it just adds more interest.

Next are 2 blocks called Neil's Dairy. Remember, I didn't name these blocks.


You will see these blocks again when applique has been added to the triangles. 

Stonefields is designed by Susan Smith.

Except for some of the neutral background fabrics, all the fabric for these blocks came from my stash.

I receive weekly emails from All People Quilt.com. This week they had a link with patterns to 41 blue & white quilts! As you know, blue & white are my favorite kinds of quilts so I'm sharing the link with you too. Enjoy the eye candy!
