The June Quilt Square Quilt Along at Jo's Country Junction was the Corn and Beans Block. I like this block - in fact we have a 24" Corn and Beans 'barn quilt' on our porch.
I made my 12" block from blues and neutrals.
My block is 1/4 the size of our barn quilt and has 4 times as many pieces!
After quilting my block, I didn't like the tension on the quilting so I tore out the stitches. Then my sewing machine died. After a fuse in the transformer was replaced, I was set to go. An hour later, my machine died! Some belt has now been replaced. I have to pick up my machine tomorrow. I have started researching new machines - is the handwriting on the wall? I think I'd better be ready and informed in case I need to go shopping.
Yes, we have a barn quilt! No, we don't have a barn! We both love seeing the different barn quilts and decided we'd like one of our own.
While 'we' were at Quilt Camp in September, I ordered the Corn and Beans Block Quilt from Country Threads.
When we got home, we had a problem - where to hang it. We finally decided on the screened porch. Then the new problem - how to hang it. The vinyl siding hooks arrived the other day.
So there it is - I love it!
