Alison Glass Blog Tour!
Welcome to the final stop on the Alison Glass Sun Print and Clover Sunshine Blog Tour! I was lucky enough to spend the last week working with some beauties from both of Alison's latest lines. I really love the color palette she created with these prints. And text lovers rejoice - there is an entire rainbow of text prints.
I decided to pair my fabrics light print/dark print and create Shoo Fly blocks. These are really simple, striking blocks. Svetlana of s.o.t.a.k. handmade has a tutorial for making a 12" square. Mine are slightly smaller 9" finished blocks, so instead of cutting 4-1/2" individual squares I cut 3-1/2" ones.
Alison is hosting a giveaway on her blog as part of the tour. Be sure to click over for a chance to win a prize of 74 fat quarters, one of each print in her new collections.
