Clue #13 takes us back to Vermont

By

 Clue #13 is Fairlee Ridge and is dedicated to all of those that attended the Spring Quilt Camp at Lake Morey, in Fairlee, VT in 2019.  A great setting in Central Vermont.   The Lake Morey Resort took great care of us with lovely meals and adhering to our pleas for Margaritas on Cinco De Mayo and Mint Juleps for the Kentucky Derby!   We had to cancel Spring Camp 2020 due to Covid, but I continue to look for a fabulous location to host Spring Quilt Camp 2024! 


This is a very similar Block to Clue #12, but with the corner units switched to Dual- Color Square-in-Square and the Trees are oriented differently.

My Fabric Selections.  Make sure to evaulate what you have left and make the best use of your fabric remnants and the remnants of Fat Quarters in your bundle.

Cutting was very straight forward.  Here are my paper plates.

The Units A and B are made the same as last week. 

V Blocks

Tree Trunks
Then, a play on a Square-in-Square with Dual-Colored Side Triangles.
Stay organized and you should do fine.  First put on your Light Side Triangles and then your Background.  I did a "planful" cutting of my Centers for my Cheer & Merriment and a fussy cut center for my Stitched. 

There are constructed similar to last week's clue but are the mirror image.  Be careful with that orientation. 
Love, Love these Tree Blocks!

Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and enjoy these easier Block for the Holiday Weekend.

I will be traveling for the next two weeks, I'm teaching on a Quilting Cruise.  Next Friday, I expect to release Clue #14 as usual, pending any technique issue.  However, it may be later than 6pm as I am on the West Coast.   Clue #15, however, will be released on either Saturday or Sunday the 11th or 12th. 

Keep Stitching,

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my shop now throug

Woo Hoo!  A little productivity this weekend.  I was able to complete the piecing of my version of Atlantic Flyways for my February Class at Yankee Quilter ( www.yankeequilter.com ).  I'm hoping to get it quilted in the evenings this week (might be a challenge) and to drop off. I'm giving a Wing Clipper demo at Yankee Quilter this Saturday.  They have Flying Geese in their Block of the Month and have asked me to come demonstrate how to use the Wing Clipper.  I hope to have the Signs of Autumn Table Runner and Atlantic Flyway completed to show. Here is Deb Tucker's original: Fingers Crossed, it is back to work tomorrow!
