Mississippi License Plate Quilt

Life …

Grampa adds a stake to the signs that Ashton helped to paint.

… as a Quilter

I finished my trial Mississippi license plate block. Since this was a trial, I decided to go ahead and quilt it. I want to simplify, yes, simplify for my real quilt block for the AMB blog tour. I’m calling it

“Go Mississippi.”

American Made Brand Fabric by Clothworks and Mississippi License Plate Quilt Block

I was recently invited to be part of a blog tour of American Made Brand fabric. Clothworks is introducing a new line of fabric that is grown, produced, manufactured and distributed in the USA.  So when Candace at Clothworks asked me to participate by making a Mississippi license plate block using the AMB fabric … I said yes.

The fabric arrived recently and the colors are beautiful. They are all solid.

I decided to make a trial block using fabrics from my stash. I found a picture of an old license plate …

 

… and zeroed in on the pine trees, the magnolia flower, and the ocean at the bottom. Here’s my first trial quilt block.
