Welcome to the Cloud9 New Block Blog Hop! I'm Renee and these are some of the quilts I've made this year:

| Some of my 2016 quilts! |
Here is the block I designed this time around, and let me just say that the Cloud9 solids are so nice to work with:

| Berry Swirl quilt block, measures 12" x 12" (finished). |
You can download the FREE paper piecing pattern from my Craftsy shop here!
**If you make one and share it on IG tag it with #BerrySwirlQuiltBlock **
If you're new to paper piecing, here are the tutorials I liked best when I was getting started:
- Artisania Paper Piecing video series, plus links to other tutorials (this is the series that helped me finally "get" paper piecing)
- We All Sew 'Never tear out stitches again' a technique for figuring out angles and needed fabric sizes that I figured out a few years ago and am so glad someone else made a tutorial for!
Here is the tester block I made using Hawthorne Thread Mojave fabrics:

Hi Renee - visiting from the Blog Hop. I love Berry Swirl!! I hope to make some of the blocks from the Blog Hop and this is a must!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love berries. I also love your nlock. Yay you!

ReplyDeleteLove the abstract of this block-the colors lend so well to this! Thank you
ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful block. The use of the darker red in this block really makes it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block.
ReplyDeleteComing from the Hurricane belt along the Gulf of Mexico, your block represents those big storms perfectly! I may have to make a pillow out of one for my dad and stepmom who still live there. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove your block, it really pops! Thanks for the paper piecing pattern as I'm sure to use it.

This is one of my favorites so far! Can't wait to see them all. I think a sampler quilt is in order
ReplyDeleteYour photos from the beach turned out so much better than mine (I had to re-take photos when I got home). I really like this block and I'm so glad you joined the hop again this time! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous with a lot potential for fun. This might be my next bee block of choice =)

ReplyDeleteI love how the color placement makes your block pop! This is such a fun block. It's going on my "to-make" list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely block! I really like the movement created in the swirls.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think it would be fun to play with alternating a mirror image of the block with your block in the quilt layout.
ReplyDelete😍😍😍That's how I feel about this one. It's perfect and so is the name!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice block. I love how the square in square block seem to spin out into the HRTs.
ReplyDeleteSo you! Love it. If I paper pieced I'd try it! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the depth in your block, Renee! It's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSo great! It's mesmerizing and really drew me in.

ReplyDeleteI really like this block. I printed out the pattern from Craftsy - I might give it a try tonight.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! The block is awesome. The stars seem to dance or spin in the layout.
