My Block of the Month Pattern Research





Here are some of the lovely nursery rhyme illustrations that have inspired my new block of the month pattern. They are all taken from this book.
Hope you enjoy them!




The inside cover





























































Just wonderful aren't they?

The good news is that block one of my new block of the month pattern is complete, I'll share it with you in my next post.
I thought it might be interesting to post each block as I am working on it and feature the nursery rhyme it is based on as well.
So stay tuned for Humpty Dumpty coming soon!

Warmly Lenna

  1. Hi Lenna,
    Unfortunately I don't have any grandchildren yet, but these designs look as if they will be beautiful. I might have to make one for the 'hope for grandchildren' chest
    I'll be looking forward to seeing them come to fruition.

  3. Hello Lenna,
    Looking forward to seeing the next block if it is as nice as your Humpty Dumpty.
    Redwork nursery rhymes patterns would be fantastic.
