Cozy Afternoon FREE BOM - BLOCK 3 and a Giveaway!

It's here!! Cozy Afternoon BOM Block 3 AND a Giveaway! The Cozy Afternoon quilt is from fabric and quilt designer Jacquelynne Steves! It's a versatile, easy and fun quilt that includes 3 ways to finish your blocks. You can piece them using a plain fabric square in the middle, applique them or embroider them. Jacquelynne provides a video tutorial for the two stitches that are used for the easy embroidery so it's a great chance to learn! This BOM goes for 5 months and includes the pattern for each block, plus the border and finishing instructions that are given at the end. Imagine curling up in front of the fire with this quilt, a good book and a cup of tea or giving it to a family member or special friend. Perfect!

This month, you get the free pattern for Block 3. Here's my Block Three:

I photographed my block on the floral fabric that I am going to use for the border and the large setting squares just so you could see where I got my color inspiration. I decided to use raw edge applique for my blocks. I did embroider the little antenna on the butterfly and I appliqued the leaves.


How cute is this little tea cup!  If you haven't already signed up, it isn't too late! Click on Jacquelynne's link and you will get all 3 patterns if you need them. These blocks stitch up quickly so you should be able to easily catch up!

To get your block pattern, just visit Jacquelynne's website HERE, enter your email and click to sign up. That's it! Jacquelynne is also the editor of a gorgeous emagazine and it's FREE too! You can sign up for it while you're there. And, just when you thought you couldn't take any more FREE fun, there's more! Just leave a comment on my blog and tell me which colors you are using in your blocks and you will be entered to win these beautiful free patterns that you can only get directly from Jacquelynne! Make a quilt, pillow or table runner. I'd love to make the table runner in wool.
 Because these are electronic patterns, my blog friends from all over the world can enter! Jacquelynne will send the patterns to the winner during the week of July 20th. The giveaway is open until July 19th. The winner will receive the free patterns the next week directly from Jacquelynne. The ONLY way you can get these patterns is to enter the giveaway on my blog and on the blogs of the other quilters who are hosting the giveaway and showing you their versions of the blocks!

    I adore your Block #3! I usually shy away from using black, but it really shows off your applique in this block. Plus, the use of the floral fabric is just so sweet in the background! You done good!:)

  42. Judy1522July 15, 2015 at 11:18 PM

    I love the heart on your teacup and I am using similar colors to yours that I pulled from my stash, minus the red, and mine is going to be somewhat scrappy. I have been trying to find a fabric that would work for the setting triangles and borders and had seen the Mary Engelbreit fabric you are using but I think it might have too much red in it for my blocks. I am sure I can find something at my LQS. Your black background really makes the teacup stand out I like it and had thought about using black but just decided to use it rather than the Navy color.

    ReplyDelete
  43. margaretJuly 16, 2015 at 12:31 AM

    Yesterday I cut all my blocks out, using similar to the original colours but purple instead of the navy, a lilac instead of light pink, turquoise instead of light blue and undecided about the aqua but do not need that yet, love your background took a photo off the screen and went to my quilting shop but they did not know it. think I will embroider the centre that decision will be made today
    Trust the visit to the vet went well, good that Lola had a stroll around the garden yesterday

I just have too much going on and cannot participate, but if I was able to participate, I would most definitely use yellows for sunshine, oranges and greens. Something nice and bright to remind me of the sun coming up in the morning and shining on all of the flowers.

Then as I scrolled the picture of your Cozy Afternoon block slowly very slowly came to view and I realized I *haven't* seen this one... Last week my p phone was being super slow and I got interrupted in the midst of visiting the Cozy Afternoon blogs and missed yours! And it's so stinkin cute! I love the heart on the cup!
