Jacquelynne Steves recently offered a series of free blocks-of-the-month called Cozy Afternoon.

The block patterns began in May and ended in October with suggestions on setting and borders. I intended from the first day to make a cover for a large storage hassock I keep in my sewing room. There would be one panel for the top and four for the sides, adding corner triangles and sashing.
I thought the blocks were very pretty …..
Unfortunately, the end product was not what I wanted. The cover doesn’t fit as well as I hoped and I’m not sure about the triangle fabric I used. It has the beach and shoreline look I wanted but doesn’t set off the blocks very well.
I’ll keep the cover for now, but the piece would be easy to take apart and I’ll be looking for ideas to use these nice panels in a better way.

Good job. I love looking at your work.

It looks pretty!

I’m sorry it doesn’t fit as you like because the blocks are wonderful. The picture at the top looks okay to me, but I don’t know what you had in mind, so that doesn’t mean a thing. They are beautiful blocks, and I know you’ll find another purpose for the wonderful nautical theme you made.

Love your new header! So cute!

hmm. . . I don’t have any specific suggestions, but I really like the individual blocks. The old-time seashore scenes are so much fun.

Whatever you decide to do with it – I know it will be as beautiful as you always make it!! I love it as a hassock cover.

The individual blocks are great but you need to like the finished product. So good you can take it apart and reuse them😊
