I found a fun class / challenge hosted by Tonya that I could not pass on. I will play with solids, Amish inspiration, liberated techniques, and even add some letters and numbers.
So I have been cutting into my precious Cherrywood fabrics, just smaller pieces (7" * 9" from their Scrap bags). It will be a scrappy look...
These are 5.5" blocks. I am aiming for a doll / crib size. There's no bigger pieces of fabric in my stash for borders. I will play a bit with layouts and see...

It looks great. I just love those liberated churn dashes.
Oh, wow. This looks great!
Liberated Amish indeed!
Great colours. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
Hei!! Dette så morsom ut!! Jeg har vært fasinert av Amish lenge, men det er mange år siden jeg har gjort noe av det. Har ganske mye selvfarget, som kanskje dette passer til....Takk for responsen på de bøkene! Dumt å bruke tid på noe som ikke er bra... Da kan man jo heller sy!! Annek:-)
Marit, I have some more Cherrywood for you and would love to send it. Please email me your address! Love your blog! Fabulous quilts and nice photos! Pam
Oh, it's beautiful! And good for you for cutting into the Cherrywood!
Of course it looks fun! Love those colours, will have to look into what cherrywood fabrics are though I really don't need to increase my stash levels right now!
Perfect timing. I just checked out a ton of Amish Quilting books. I've been so drawn to the black lately.
Så flott dette blir!
Love to see your Liberated Amish blocks! What a great challenge to be part of!
Hey Marit, These blocks look great! Looks like they are fun to make! Happy sewing!
ooooh pretty!
I love Cherrywood fabrics and these blocks are wonderful!
Great combination. The fabric looks great.
What a marvelous blog you have! I just spent quite a lot of time looking at some of your blog, and I will be back for moore soon! I just love your bold choises of fabrics put together - especially your red ones.
I'm not usually into Amish quilts but this one is fabulous. I love how the fabrics and colours look in this one and it looks like liberated fun. I always get inspiration when I visit your blog.
Wow, Marit! You have a great blog, and I LOVE your work! It looks so artistic and unique! Looking forward to seeing you again at the next meeting!
Karen (who sat beside you on wednesday:)
