This week is Block number 4 for the Jacquelynne Steves Block of the Month for Maggie's First Dance!
Find out how you can receive this free BOM pattern by visiting Jacquelynne's website!
This month I kept my block simple. I used Denyse Schmidt Katie Jump Rope Fabrics for the prints. I love the retro look of the entire collection for Free Sprit Fabrics! With Summer almost ending, it was nice to get this last bit of sunshine color into this block.
I used only four colors of Aurifil 50wt thread. The threads are strong yet thin. For thread painting they are perfect. There were spots I had to go over many times and there was no breakage! Fabulous threads!
Make sure to stop by and visit the other bloggers for this fun event! Say HELLO and see how they are creating their blocks! Variety is the spice of life :o)

I do really like this block! I've not made the others in Jacquelynne's series this time, but I may have to make this one! It would look sweet as a mini quilt on my sewing room wall. Spring is my favorite season and it brings fresh pastel colors to mind for me. Pinks, yellows, light green, lavender...all the pretty sherbet colors as the earth renews itself after a rough winter.

Nothing better than working on a comfy quilt while the cold wind and snow is blowing outside!!
