From the Block of the Month Pattern:
"Our April Block of the Month is inspired by our quilt 'The Beatles Quilt.' This quilt won the 1998 AQS Best of Show and is in the collection of the National Quilt Museum. We used the folk-art style girl in a few of the appliqué blocks- Baby’s in Black, Eleanor Rigby, Long and Winding Road and Lady Madonna. We love to look at the folk art style appliqué quilts from the 1800’s for inspiration in our designs and this girl is featured in a famous appliqué quilt in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum. This is the perfect motif to use for our block to teach our method of “stitched raw edge machine appliqué.” "The Beatles Quilt" also has some fun piecing techniques and we have incorporated the four-patch border to show an easy piecing method that twirls the intersections to lay perfectly flat! We used the fun colors from the quilt that give a feel for the time!
