LITTLE LETTERS ABC with a TOUCH of the 1930's

On one of my trips down south to see family I stopped in at Gail's Patchwork Emporium to buy a 1930s fat 1/4 for a friend. There were some lovely prints and I bought myself some too.

I spotted this, oh so cute, picture fabric. It shows the children playing, doing chores and having fun at different times of the day.

This was a perfect piece for me to put into my Little Letters quilt I wanted to make.

I wanted it a little bigger than the pattern and thought this would be just right.

 AND IT IS......

All the strips are cut to get the maximum out of the placements of pictures.

I do not want to waste any of it.

All the blocks are cut from the panel.

They are not square but measure. 5" * 5.75" cut...

I have put them in time order to sewinto the quilt.

Now to start the letters.

Here they are going together.

The letters are alternated with the picture blocks.

Telling a story of what goes on during the day.

I have laid out the letters as you learn and sing the song.

I have built up the letters from a 4" finished block and added small borders to match the alternating picture blocks. I am not putting sashing in...

 

Thank you to Sheryl for designing these Little Letters.
