Pinching Pennies Quilt Block

“Pinching Pennies” is a pattern for a traditional economy quilt block embellished with hand embroidery.

The theme for November Quilt Block Mania is “Market”. Since we all want to save money when we are shopping, the economy quilt block seems to fit that theme perfectly.

This block can be made in any. combination of colours.

The hand embroidered embellishment takes this block from basic to fancy.

The block pattern is available in my shop.
