Quilt Block Pattern “Black Currants” a Design Inspired by 1800s Botanical Prints

This is a physical pattern for ONE quilt block. There is a Collection of 12 in the series called Simply Delicious! based on designs from the 1800s. Each features fruit on the vine or tree. This one is called Black Currant. You can use it by itself (makes a beautiful pillow) or you can order the rest of the block collection online.* The finish size of this block is 16 inches. We used a scrappy background, cut from many different light to medium/light blue and white prints, plaids and stripes. For this block you will need 4 squares cut 9 inches for the block center and 60 squares cut 1.5!inches for the block border. The pattern includes templates for the appliqué. You will need several fabrics for the berries, branch and leaves. Choose from solids, prints, plaid and stripes to add interest to your block.
