Temecula Quilt Co. had a free Block of the Day for twelve days starting on Christmas Day. I watched as it grew interesting. Then I decided I wanted to play along. But one thing, my machine was not working and in the shop. I also wanted to do it in patriotic colors. I ordered a charm pack of Prairie Paisley II from eBay and they came in yesterday on Day 11.
Today, I got all the blocks done. Each block is onlly 3 1/2” inches square.
Here they are in order… notice a pattern?

Day 11
Day 12
Each day, the number of the day correlates to the number of patches in the block. I also did not repeat a fabric in another block – so each fabric only appears in one block.
I am looking forward to seeing how they set these. The mystery will be revealed tomorrow (the 6th). It only took me about two hours to make all 12 blocks. I did re-make block 7 because at the end I noticed each of the blocks except that one had no fabric repeats, so I remade that block.
Cute idea. That shop is adorable and a “must see” when I go to retreat. It’s about 70 or so miles north of me. Our retreat center is 9 miles east of Temecula. Oh – and your blocks are great. Love the fabric you chose.
