Raspberry and Cream BOM {Block 5}


Hi there! Today I am ready to share my fifth block for the Raspberry and Cream Block of the Month!!

***We only have a couple of finishing kits left for this and we are unable to reorder fabric since the manufacturer is out of this fabric! Also if you would like your backing to match, be sure to snag some before we are completely out of the fabric! Purchase HERE

 For backing you'll need to purchase 5.625 yards (44" wide) or 2.5 yards (108" wide) backing.

NOTE:

These patterns are not "free", so you will need to purchase a kit to receive the fabric + patterns.  The Raspberry & Cream BOM was designed & written by Marsha McCloskey.  We are simply sharing our progress and giving a few tips on completing your blocks as you sew along using your purchased pattern.







For this block you will need to use fabrics A, B, and D from your Blocks Kit:




This block was so easy,  and very straightforward to put together.  I really did enjoy putting this one together! In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I forgot to stop and take my picture of the layout of the block before I sewed it together.  I was just in the zone I guess! But really, I had no problems with this block.  I did iron my seams open again, and it seemed to really help with everything matching up nicely and also seems to reduce bulk.  


Your blocks should measure 9.5" x 9.5" unfinished.  The best way to ensure you get that is to use a 1/4" presser foot!
