Block Party

I know you are all probably sick of seeing these blocks, but I love ‘em.  I wanted to submit this particular one to the Quilt Story Block Party, and I need a blog posts dedicated to it :)

For stat purposes, this block is a simple 9-patch using Tufted Tweets by Laurie Wisbrun for Robert Kaufman.  The center block is Kona Snow, and then a cushy fauteuil is embroidered to make the white more exciting, and to showcase a piece of furniture history.  The whole collection can be seen here and here.  I chose this particular chair for the block party because it is an iconic and timeless piece, and doesn’t necessarily need a brief history lesson to be recognized as a chair.
 
So, there you have it.  My submission for the Block Party!

p.s. I’ve been working on some valentine-related skirts for my girls. I’m off to get elastic, and then I’ll show you!
