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.

Love the bright colors of your block. I think the floral is a perfect choice to complement the blocks.
What cheery blocks, just the thing to work on during the hot summer days! You've motivated me to get started!
Wow, the bright colors look terrific! Good inspiration for all of us.
Love your cheery colors and prints, I subscribe to your blog as well! :)Linda
Cute little birdie, and he looks great set against your background fabric!
Love to do hand embroidery and these little blocks are a perfect excuse!
Lovely color combinations. The black background really 'pops' the applique and the bright calico was a surprising touch for me.
You always pick the cheeriest fabrics, so sweet. Please don't enter me in the drawing for a free pattern. The patterns are adorable but I know they would be added to the stack of "want to make".
Love your bold color choices very stunning...

I like your fabric chooses, bright and cherry and so happy!!
I love your block, seeing the way others make it gives me inspiration to come up with my own version.
What a happy quilt!
I love the fact there is a choice to applique, embroider, or piece the block. Mix and match! Whatever your mood is that day.
I love appliqued birds! Yours is very cute!
Love love love your fabric and colors.

Your block is so cute. Love your bright colors.
Your colors are so pretty. Love the black background and the orange corners. Thanks for the giveaway and love these designs. I am doing all three versions, because I just couldn't decide.
Aside from the fabulous quilt along from Jacqueline, I love the pin cushion formed from the cute ... too cute mug with the doggie handle. That mug is adorable!
It has been interesting to see the Blocks and how different they all are - and still using the same pattern. Your choise of fabrics is great.
I just love Jacquelynne's Patterns they are sew easy to work with I would love to get the 2 she is offering this time (well all of them really!!) Your fabric and blocks are sew sew cheery!! Love the background fabric!! Thank you for sharing!
Very cute!
Your blocks look so cute! I just took an applique class on Saturday and I am really excited to start this project!
I decided to do the applique method for the blocks, even though the other two methods are probably easier. I think I was embroidering before the age of 5 and started sewing. I was able to make clothing by the age of 7. I stopped using patterns about 3 decades ago, as they seemed so tedious. I like to just look at a piece of fabric and "wing it!" I used the same wing it method for my first quilt at age 16, and the results were...uhmmm...not great. lisajcowell@cs.com

I love your colors! I am getting ready to start mine and am getting ideas on color
