Hello!  Welcome to my little segment of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Road Rally Blog Tour.  I'm so happy you've stopped by today.  This is my block from Volume 15, Cherry Bon Bon.  

It's block #1492, shown on page 56 of the magazine, and also on the cover.

Vroom!  Vroom!  I drove my trusty old Singer 301 to sew the easy half square triangle seams on this block.  This is my favorite machine.  It sews fast.  I'm sure it would do well in a quilting road rally.  

 I made nine Cherry Bon Bon blocks into this cute lap size quilt.  See the nice secondary design you get when you put these blocks together?  I finished this quilt off with a simple skinny black border and a wider red border.

Size:  44" x 44"

Block Size:  12"

Fabric:  Pumpkin Pie by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda

Batting:  Warm 100 by The Warm Company

Thread:  King Tut by Superior Threads

 The Cherry Bon Bon quilt block is quite versatile.  You can get a number of different looks using the same fabrics.  I've just changed their positions in the blocks.  Here, I've reversed the creams and the blacks.

 In this version, I've eliminated the brown fabric, replacing it with black, and changed the original black patches to red.

 In this block, I've brought the brown fabric back in, by changing the outer pink triangles to brown, and keeping just a touch of pink in the center square of the block.  You could play with this block endlessly, for so many different looks.  It was tough to choose my favorite for the magazine.

Here's an example of how the four versions I've shown today could look in a wall hanging sampler.  I like it.  I may sew one of these, too.
