I was in the mood to make something for spring.
I had been going through my old magazines and found this cute little paper pieced block.
It came from this issue.
It was printed in May 1995.
I bought this magazine at an estate sale last spring.
Twelve magazines for $1.00.
This is what the pattern looks like.
It was to make a vest.
But I'm not into vests.
A mini quilt is more my taste.
This is a fun little block to make.
I really had fun working on it.
Now I just have to make the scrappy border.
I hope you like it!!

I certainly like the direction that you took the pattern in (the vest really doesn't do it for me either!). Your material choices are great too.
Love the tulips!

Wonderful piece and beautiful tulips. I like going through the old magazines, sometimes the old patterns are fun to redo.

Oh, how lovely... super spring-like!
Ohhhhh--I heart those tulips--how pretty you made them--I keep saying that I am going to do a tulip quilt someday--only someday doesn't seem to have come yet for me!!!!
I love the colors you chose to make them in toooo!!!!
and I love old magazines too--maybe I will go grab some from my pile to look through when I get off here!!
then again--maybe I shouldn't by the looks of my to finish and want to do lists!!!!

Very cute Ariane!
Very cute! And I could really use a tulip quilt.
Lovely! The colors work well together. Spring is in the air!
They are definitely cute little blocks! and I recognised them straight up! they are a Carol Doak Foundation pattern. I'm not into vests either, but her patterns are wonderful and lend themselves to all projects. I have several of her books and belong to her on-line yahoo group. I love the fabrics you chose on the white background, very fresh!!! Nice work!!!
It's so sweet! Isn't nice to find such a bargain. Ann :-)
Your tulips are wonderful Ariane...
Your spring tulips are so pretty. :o)
Making me smile:):):):)
What an adorable little quilt!!
Ariane...I would say you have mastered paper piecing..these tulips are just that perfection...
I like your tulips with the crisp background. Beautiful spring quilt!
Oh! I love this block. Love love it.
Love your tulip quilt! Very pretty colors.
Love it, love it, love it! I am going to need to make some too.
