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

http://americanmadebrand.com/
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.

Julia,
I love that you started with an actual plate. Your version is beautiful. I can't wait to see your final version.

Good to meet you through AMB.
