May and June Provençal Quilt Blocks
Pattern
Our one-block-a-month quilt is coming along, and now that it is June, Constance and I can move on to Quilt Square #6. We made a little masking card with a one-quilt-square window in it so we can see the pattern shapes without being distracted by the other bits of the design…

fabrics and cutting tools
…then dug out our Provençal fabrics and cutting implements…

OOPS
Somehow we ended up making two June Quilt blocks. I thought that I had cut the triangles too small, and ended up cutting a whole second set…but the new ones turned out to be the same size as the first ones…Next month I think I will have a cup of tea first if we decide to cut and sew before 6 am.

So here is June #1…

June 2
…and here is June #2! They are a little chaotic, but they fit in nicely with the overall design…

May Block
The one we made in May is much less jumbled!

All the blocks so far!

Constance has patience and talent – Very pretty !!
Thank you – she is a good helper!
It’s going to be a beautiful quilt as the fabrics are so richly colored and varied. I may need to know what type of tea can be so helpful before 6 am. I could use some today.

Thanks, we think it will look pretty nice when all is said and done. We drink tea from our local tea shop – Murchie’s. Click Here for their website.
Love each and every quilt you have ever made. I especially appreciate your color pallet. So beautiful.
Thanks very much – we love the colours too, and are having fun making them into a quilt-mosaic of colours and shapes.
wonderful patterns and colours. Think I’d need more than tea to start me sewing before 6 am.
Thank you! The original pattern is called “Shades of Grey” but that sounded a bit too monochromatic to us, we did not want to end up with a dreary grey quilt, and are much happier with “South of France” colours!
So very beautiful! I agree that tea makes the wheels turn! 😀
Thanks – yes, tea does it for me!
beautiful colors and patterns. Such precise cutting and sewing….I sit back in wonder and awe!
Our only problem is scaling up fro our usual Hitty-sized quilt! The good thing about this human quilt is that we are only puzzling our one block at a time, so it isn’t too bad!
