Wedding Chapel for February QBM

This month's Quilt Block Mania theme centers around weddings! For a lot of couples, that means a church wedding, which I've brought to you with my Wedding Chapel block.

Originally, this block was designed with a specific color scheme from a wedding photo featuring cream, blush, ice blue, and jade.

And this is the Wedding Chapel block using those colors.

With the given color scheme, it looks more like a mission than a chapel. But with a change of colors, it became closer to the chapel that I envisioned. I'd certainly want to get married there!

Of course, with the original color scheme, the block plays well with the 15 other fabulous wedding themed quilt blocks.

And here's the designer list with links for collecting these blocks, though they are available for a very limited time.

My Wedding Chapel quilt block requires several quilting skills - piecing, paper or foundation piecing, and fusible applique. It's definitely geared toward the Intermediate quilter who is comfortable with those techniques.

The Wedding Chapel quilt block includes the full-sized paper piecing templates and applique templates. Just be sure to print on separate pieces of paper!

Fat quarters are all that's needed, plus a bit of fusible web. I love the new block coloring update to a beautiful white chapel, though you can make it whatever color you want.

Finishing at 12" x 12", my Wedding Chapel block pattern is now available in my Etsy shop.
