Mystery Block of the Month
November 17, 2011 Confession. This block - #5 of Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery Block of the Month Club - arrived in the mail the day before I left for Quilt Market. I was in the middle of packing & stuff when I heard the mailbox squeak. I dropped everything and was pressing & cutting before the mailman got to the end of the street. (Yes, I was one of those naughty kids who would snoop under beds and in closets before Christmas!)
This month's block "Vintage Posey" was designed by Brenda Riddle. Super sweet and talented lady.
In truth, I wanted to make the block so I could tell Brenda at Market that I made it and I loved it and it came together so nicely. That is all true. And the block is adorable.
But I totally forgot to tell her!

This is a beautiful block!
lol, well you should email brenda now and tell her that story...she'll laugh! besides, she deserves a complement for designing such a beautiful block. ;0
Really sweet and pretty. It's never too late to give someone a compliment. (That's a dead give-away that I'm a mom, right?) Thank goodness for email!
Ah, I love this block! But so many pieces, right? Wait until you see block #6 - it's a big, super-easy tulip that almost sews itself.

What a pretty block - although it looks a bit complicated! Do pop over and check out today's (Thursday) fmq - it was a fun one to do!
That looks so intense!!! You just whip the out don't you!!! :-)
Great story! I'm tickled pink - I think I just might have jumped ahead of you. ;-)
Just finished the tulip - super easy. A nice change - the Vintage Posey was intense! But alas, still haven't started my Alphabet Sampler. Too many UFO's calling me. But I just picked up Simplify w/my b'day discount and pumped to get going on something. LOVE that book - your idea of making them small was brilliant.
I have never seen this design before and I just love how it went together. You are really fast and sew perfectly! This will make a beautiful quilt!!
It is never too late to tell her now you love it!
Beautiful. Lovely fabrics, too.
That is a great looking block!
Ohhhhh! I'm so sad I didn't join this BOM. I adore the fabrics along with all the block designs I have seen so far. Beautiful!!! Hugs...
The block is stunning. I would like to know how you all take such bright, pretty pictures for your blogs. Is there a secret tip you could share.
