The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt -Block 32 Shattered Pane
Welcome to week 32 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.

Be sure to visit this week’s Guest Blogger and their wonderful block.
(N.B Due to time and date differences, guest bloggers posts do not always coincide with my post)
This week we have two very talented guest bloggers – Jamie and Tonya. Jamie Elfert is from Baby Boomer Quilting blog and has designed a special Valentines block named ‘Amor’ and included various layouts using this block.
Tonya is a fellow Aussie from Craftymummy blog who was made a gorgeous foundation pieced block in pastels called ‘Pastel Stripes‘.
Be sure to visit both sites and look at the wonderful quilts and crafts made by Jamie and Tonya

A lot of my blocks tend to look like the "shattered pane" …. perhaps that's what I should call them all. Lol. Your blocks are quite lovely.

Whoa – that's so cool scrolling down and seeing the more and more minimal layouts.

I agree with LynCC – Really enjoyed looking at all the variations to putting the blocks together! I'm just joining this week but if all the layouts look this great this is going to get extremely dangerous for me… Like a quilt a week rather than a block…
