Let's Bake! ~ October blocks for SP QAL~

SP QAL October Blocks ~ Let's Bake! ~

It is the time of the month again! I have a new set of blocks
for the Super Penguin Quilt Along! This month, we've got
a chocolate bar, a baking set, and a kitchen scale!
It is available here through superbuzzy!

Chocolate Bar
A chocolate bar! This is such a fun block to make!
Not a big fan of milk chocolate or brown fabric in general?
Then maybe you can make it white, strawberry, or even greentea
chocolate or possibly a combination of all yummy colors!? You are the chef!

Baking set
A baking set! One thing I am very pleased about this block is ease!
It may look a bit complicated at first, but actually it consists of
only two sections - top and bottom, which makes the whole
process pretty easy and quick.

Kitchen Scale
A kitchen scale! This one is easy peasy and beginner-friendly!
This too consists of only two sections, top and bottom,
so it comes together pretty quick!

Each of these measures 7 1/2”W x 7”H finished = a perfect size for
a potholder if you want to turn one block into it!

SP QAL quilt so far ;)

Here is how all my QAL blocks look like together so far!
All the patterns are available at superbuzzy here!

I hope you'll have fun playing with the patterns and
share your progress in this flickr group ;)



Completely off the topic, but my in-laws will be in town
next week! Eeeek! This is going to be their very first time to
visit Japan and both Joe and I are so excited about showing them
around Japan! So exciting!

Have a great weekend, friends!

  8. Ayumi, you have outdone yourself with these blocks! I have no words to give justice to their awesomeness.

    That little chocolate bar block just melts my heart...especially with that little piece broken off at the top - pure genius! And now I have a hankering to watch Willie Wonka...

  18. Ooh good luck with the in-laws!! My SIL and her husband are visting for 4 whole weeks from mid-Dec and we can't wait :) And on the topic of chocolate? Our local Aeon just got a complete refurbishment/renovation and has included an import specialty store that stocks my favourite brand of chocolate - Cadbury. So. Happy!

  34. Hi Ayumi,
    More absolutely fun and amazing blocks! I'm crazy about kitchen motives and love the letters fabric around the bowl! The numbers in the kicthen scale are gorgeous and the chocolat slice must be mine because I love dark chocolat! I'm so glad I have already done pre-order of your book in London Amazone ^_^!!!!
    Happy week!
