Georgetown Carnival

Well yesterday I played around with Touchdraw (a vector graphics app for iPad) until I ended up with a version on Katy's Spring Carnival which kind of reminded me of Georgetown Circles.  I've made the first trial block and decided to applique it to squared up FQ  and so the Georgetown Carnival block is born.  As ever, if I am just re-making another classic block I've love to know but, until then, it's the Georgetown Carnival.


It uses the same three basic EPP shapes as Spring Carnival so you can get plastic templates from Katy's  etsy shop here and printable templates from a link from the tutorials page on her blog which takes you here.

  3. Very pretty! I know the center 'spring carnival' pattern is called an Amish friendship ring. I love how switching the triangles and squares in the second round creates this beautiful new shape. It sort of reminds me of a compass. You are so clever Lynne!

  8. This is fab! The fabric choices just play so well together! I get so excited to see the basic components of something I've done altered so something entirely new is created. Maybe it's one of the reasons I love EPP so.

  9. This block looks so pretty. I was making the spring carnival circles yesterday as I waited for and rode ferries.
