Hello and welcome to my stop on the blog hop for Jane Sassaman's new book entitled "Patchwork Sassaman Style: Recipes for Dazzling Quilts"!
I thought I'd do something a little different on my stop by showing you my interpretation of one of the patterns in the book. Jane's book is colorful, fun and contains many new ideas... and that makes me really excited about it.

Hello and welcome to my stop on the blog hop for Jane Sassaman's new book entitled "Patchwork Sassaman Style: Recipes for Dazzling Quilts"!
I thought I'd do something a little different on my stop by showing you my interpretation of one of the patterns in the book. Jane's book is colorful, fun and contains many new ideas... and that makes me really excited about it.
One of the patterns called Cross-in-a-Cross caught my eye and I pulled out some Brr! fabrics by Laurie Wisbrun and started fussy cutting the house shapes. I had a lot of fun deciding what fabrics to use and where to place them in the block.
Jane's book gives you lots of different "recipes" with how to construct a certain pattern. Your sizes of the pieces will depend upon the fabric designs you choose and how you use them. The directions and information within the book are well written and easily understood.

I think my quilt top turned out so cute! It's a little more than 15.5" square and I knew that would work perfectly for a pillow top.
I like this book because of all the ideas and ways to incorporate fussy cutting into your quilting. That's a technique and aspect to quilting that I haven't used much and I'm pretty excited with the results!
And, now for the fun part!

Adorable!!
I love your pillow! So cute.
Very cute pillow. I also like the sew red pillow --the way you used the stripe for a border. Stunning.
Winner wanna be
I love Polar Bears! Sweet pillow. Thanks, Mary
Your pillow is fantastic--a really exemplary use of fabric! The book is inspiring!
I would love to win a copy of Jane's newest book.
I would love to win a copy!
The polar bear is so cute!
One of my favorite aspects of blog hops is that sometimes one can see different artists' ideas at "play" with someone else's idea. I love both the original and your own rendition.
Your pillow is wonderful! I love Jane's fabric and really need her book.
I love the way you used her as an inspiration!
What an amazing book! Thank you for tha chance to win!!
Cute pillow - such a cool book! Thanks for the chance to win it.
Wonderful! Loved seeing how one of Jane's quilts would develop if a person chose a print other than a Sassman print. I, too, am getting more and more excited about this book!!
What a great pillow - I think that is my favorite use of this fabric line yet! Thanks for the chance to win!
I think Jane is an amazing artist. Your Polar Bear is darling, and a great fabric to use for that pattern. Thanks for the giveaway!
From one Jane to another, I love this book and would love to win it!
Your pillow is stunning! Makes me want to get some of the fabric too!
Jane
eep! Adorable! Thanks for the giveaway. :)
So glad you showed how you used her "recipe" to create your own project. It is lovely. I would love to give it a try. thanks for sharing.
That would make a great wall hanging.
Your pillow project is so cute! Love those bears and how you fussy cut them! It is very effective and I know you will enjoy this so much this Christmas season!
Whimsical polar bears...such a great fabric choice for that block pattern. I'm inspired to try something similar with some hedgehog fabric I've been hoarding for just the right project. :-)
I love the way you took the pattern and made it your own. Love, love, love the fussy cut animal cornerstone blocks!
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of Jane's new books...and to visit new blogs.
Very nice interpretation. Also The Farmer's Wife quilt is gorgeous. I just love it I'll be back to look some more for sure. Thanks for sharing.
