Monika Fritschi Henry at Penny Spool Quilts has a new alphabet quilt pattern called Elemeno Quilt which you can read about it here (not an affiliate link). In this pattern, you'll get all the English alphabets and four symbols that you can use to design any quilts with words.
I decided to make a wall hanging with a word LOVE on it. Before I ended up with this design, I tried line up the letters straight down, stacked up into a cube shape but they look kinda boring. Here's the finished quilt.

| Love Quilt 24"x47" |
The instructions for the blocks are pretty straight forward and they're easy to make. Each block finishes at 10".
To achieve this look, I laid the blocks on a background fabric and used 1/4 " bias tape to cover the raw edged. I'm sure there are many different ways to accomplish this but I jumped in with the first idea that came to mind. I realized that I could have made things easier for myself had I sewn the fusible web onto the back of each block and fuse them to the background. But I like the look of the bias tape better.
If you're interested, head over to Monika's website and check it out.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
