The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt – Block 33 Crown
Welcome to week 33 of the ‘The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt’. Todays block is about foundation piecing. Remember, this is not a quilt-a-long. Just follow the blog every week and pick and choose which blocks you would like to make. I will be injecting some uniqueness into traditional blocks, applique, three dimensional, crazy and thread-art blocks. If you make a block please post it on the Flickr group for everyone to enjoy. Also, I have this nifty button under each post that allows you to save the post as a PDF.

This weeks guest is Bek Brown from Australia. Bek is a very talented quilter whose gorgeous handiwork can be found at Dreamfctry.
