O’Brien Sunset Part One: Making The Blocks

This week, I offer the pattern for the blocks in this quilt. The blocks all have the same construction, but use two different colorations of fabric.

The blocks are simple to make… Cut strips, assemble strip sets, cut to length then add a white rectangle… Loads of fun! And next week, I’ll share a trick that makes assembly of this quilt fast, accurate and fun! (PS… The Graphic above is of TWO blocks offset.)

Every time I use this cute little purse, I get compliments. It’s big enough (6″ X 9″) to hold my Phone, Keys, ID, CC along with a comb and lipstick, but compact enough to not get in the way. It was so enjoyable to make and so much fun to use, I thought it would be fun to share the pattern. So here is my new 99 cent pattern on Craftsy!

As you can see, this is Crazy Patch for the machine age. All stitching is by machine. It is wondrous to use all those decorative stitches and different threads. Sometimes I put two threads through the needle (one on a bobbin) just to see what would happen. The results are fantastic! The Crazy Patch is done flat then the purse is made from the created piece in a very simple manner. Dig out your fancy fabrics… or just your favorite cottons! And have a great time making this purse!

Here is the link: (The pattern is just 99 cents and you can download it immediately!)
