For the blocks:

Sharing Uppercase blocks from my amazing testers t Sharing Uppercase blocks from my amazing testers today!

Here’s a look at the full sample quilt. I was ho Here’s a look at the full sample quilt. I was hoping to get a Lite-Brite effect using Phophor fabrics by Libs Elliott, and they did not disappoint!! I seriously cannot get over how glow-y they are. (There is no filter applied here!) I started with a full set of colours in fat quarters, then subtracted the pink and purple. I also had lots left over and am confident that 9 eighths would be enough to do the whole alphabet this way. #phosphorfabric #blackletterquilt #rainbowquilt #alphabetquilt #quiltsofinstagram #modernquilt #alphabetquiltblocks #alphabetquiltpattern #fpp #paperpiecing
It’s Uppercase Blackletter release day! Thank yo It’s Uppercase Blackletter release day! Thank you everyone for all the words of encouragement, and thank you to my amazing testers. I’m also so happy to finally be able to offer both upper and lowercase letters alone and as a bundle. These paper pieced letters were designed to work together, and the lowercase set now includes two alternates to coordinate with the slightly more traditional style I used for the “s” and the “x” in the uppercase version. Use the link in profile for a little discount, and as always let me know if you have any questions! #blackletterquilt #alphabetquilt #fpp #paperpiecing
