Patience is a Virtue



I want to thank you all for hanging in there with me. I have been slow to blog and if you have commented and not heard from me - Sorry! I am cramming to get things done. I do appreciate all comments and after Market will be better about email and posting. Anyway.... here is the finish for Folk Art Tribute!


This is the final block. It finishes at 12" x 48" and goes at the bottom of the quilt. You will need to piece your backing. I used two different prints and joined in the middle. The templates and border instructions are HERE.

The finished quilt is 60" x 72" and has 3 borders.

I think it turned out pretty cute. What do you guys think?


I have been asked if I will do another free BOM- not sure yet. I am going to have to see how busy I am. I am writing 2 books for 2012. Which means I am working on those now. I will get back to you on that. That's all for now. Come back on Tuesday for the 100 Blocks Blog Tour and giveaway.


(This free pattern will be removed June1 and then will be available for purchase only.)


Happy Quilting, Dawn

    Dawn, thank you for sharing the patterns for the quilt. I have saved all the patterns and hope to start on the quilt soon. I have enjoyed seeing the different blocks people have made. I see them when I visit some of the blogs. This quilt is my style!

    It turned out just great!! All together, it is FANTASTIC. I am going to do mine as separate pieces, individual wall hangings so they will fit on my office walls. But they wonderful even as separate pieces. Thanks Dawn for another great pattern. Cyndi

    Dawn, you did a lovely job on designing and presenting your quilt.

    I thank you for the opportunity to share it. I have printed everything and hope to start it soon. My friend Ethel has been stitching them each new piece and is inspiring me to get going on mine.

    Congratulations on such a giving nature.

    Yay! I just caught up on making my blocks earlier this week and I'm all ready for this final one. Sure glad I made extra bias tape - that seemed to be what was holding me up for a long time! LOL Sure has been a fun project!

    Hi Dawn again! I was able to copy and print the pictures of your Folkart Tribute, but unable to get some of the templates printed from google. Seemed like web pages for blocks 1-2 & 3 were not available. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    It was named appropriately. Very Folk art-y. Just love it! Thanks so much for doing this. And if you can't do another one next year, I for one totally understand. It may give those of us behind a chance to catch up!!

    The quilt is very cute. I liked very much to sew with you. I have to finish to sew the last two blocks. When I finish the quilt I will send you a photo.
