The water is made using Dina Pappas ' Quick Fuse method. The rest of the quilt is raw edge applique. I used *tons* of Sulky thread hoping to get considered for the best use of Sulky prize. I tried to make the quilting in the sky look like the wind was gently blowing. The words a

London Roads is another new quilt block at MyWebQuilter.com that can be used as a signature or album quilt block . The London Roads quilt block looks very different depending on colors and patterns of light/dark fabric that you use. Here is London Roads in several color waves. I think London Roads looks best when combined with other nine patch blocks. Here is a quilt pattern in pretty girly colors. This pattern would make a nice gift for a little girl who had to move - all her friends could write messages on the London Roads blocks.
