Pati and I are finally able to share with you the first of the four blocks we made for the 100 Blocks in 50 Days challenge sponsored by Janome and Michael Miller Fabrics. It is called Jigsaw Landscape and is made using fabrics from Michael Miller’s new Cotton Couture line of solid fabrics.
Jigsaw Landscape by Laura Nownes.
Here is the collection of fabrics we had to choose from for our challenge blocks.
Cotton Couture solids by Michael Miller Fabrics.
For this block, I decided to try my hand at cutting and piecing free-form curves. You can watch our video tutorial here and Pati’s advanced curve piecing post here. You will find complete downloadable instructions for making this block, along with all other 99 blocks, on Janome’s blog. In addition to getting free instructions, you will find a few exciting offerings so please take time to visit the website and take advantage of this opportunity. If you are just joining the viewing fun, you might want to check out our previous post to see what these two companies have in store for a few lucky winners.
Have fun with this challenge and we hope to see you back here for my second block on December 16th and Pati’s on December 17th and 22nd.
If you are new to our blog, we thank you for visiting and hope you take time to look through some of our previous posts, enjoy some free patterns, recipes and video tutorials.
Happy sewing everyone!
