This block in Sue Garman’s “Friends of Baltimore” is so close to being complete! I am so excited!! The only thing left is the Album that will sit in the empty space.
First, I made the spine of the Album…
…and then I prepped the red background of the Album. I chose more of a burgundy red so the Album would stand out from the red flowers.
The skinny beige border is a full piece. I think it is easier to work with a big piece rather than a skinny little piece! And finally, the top red piece of fabric.
I added the spine…
…and I placed the Album in the basket……
…and I topped it off with a flower and some leaves. Voila!!
Can’t wait to start the next block! I am pre-washing the fabrics as we speak!!
Til next time…

Thanks so much!
Absolutly amazing! I love the fabrics you picked for the book. Looks exactly like an old leather bound novel or photo album. perfect colors. Stunning as usual!
Thanks, Marilyn! Glad you like it!
The block is quite elaborate and very Baltimore style. How long did it take you to stitch?
I think this might be my favourite block in the entire quilt! I started this block on Jan 3.
Well done – beautifully sewn! and great to see how you created the Album.
