Week 3 Block 24

Alice Richmond's Oak Leaf is this week's block.

Block 24 is the oak leaf pattern.  While the majority of the blocks in the Chester Criswell Quilt are unique, oak leaf is found in many quilts.

If you don't have the pattern yet you can download it from the Two Bits Patches website.

(Psst - you don't have to make any blocks.  If you download the e-book  'Round is the Ring'  you can enjoy the stories and quilt block photos without lifting a needle.)

You will find photos of this block pinned to the Chester Criswell Quilt Pinterest board.  If you would like to share a photo you can reply to this email and attach a copy of your work or you can post it to the Two Bits Patches Facebook page.

Michelle at Buttontree Lane has been using the CCCQ Revisited to get some more of her blocks finished.  Michelle shared last week's block on the Facebook page,  how do you like her fabric choices?  I love them!

Alice's Oak Leaf

Block 24 of the Chester Criswell Quilt is available now on the website Two Bits Patches.

CCCQ Alice Richmond

The pattern is a traditional one called Oak Leaf.  I've already had a great response, it's one of the patterns that everyone seems to enjoy.

The quilt above is in the International Quilt Study Center and Museum Collection.  It was made in New York about 1850.  I do like the sawtooth sashing and blue and white always looks good.

I have pinned a few more oak leaf block pictures you'll find them here on Pinterest.

Ready for the Third Year?

I've been working on this block.  Do you see green on white or white on green?

This pattern is part of Block #25 of the Chester Criswell Quilt.  That's right, there are more blocks and The Third Year is about to be launched.

The first pattern of the Third Year, Block #24, is due to be published on 1st September.  If you don't want to miss out you can pre-order now.
