In the Spring, I started a little Ice Cream wall hanging as part of a design challenge on someone’s blog. I have lost the original instructions, but I think we were limited to two colours and a background with some embellishment. I made a little drawing on my computer of what I thought the tiny quilt would look like:
I got six blocks made, and then one thing or another came up, and I didn’t finish the project in time for the deadline. Today I’ve been looking at those blocks and wondering what I could do with them now.
Aha! I could set the Ice Cream Cones like Crossed Canoes! And I could use some other ice cream colours to make enough blocks for a lap-sized quilt…
and add some embroidery and maybe some little buttons to look like sprinkles.
What fun! The planning is almost the best part of quilting!

Happy Quilting!




You’re ice cream cones are so cute. I love how you’ve decided to change the design. I think you might want some ric rac between the cone and the icecream. Maybe yo yo cherries! This looks fun. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute idea, Sarah! I love ric rac!
That’s really a cute take on the block and a cute setting!
Oh, this is very cute! Pass the chocolate sauce, whipped cream, cherries and the jimmies please!
That is fun!
Very cute… now I’m hungry – You’ll need some chocolate chips!
I guess Ice Cream is getting put on my shopping list today!
I love this little block and I’d definitely set them like the crossed canoe’s. Embellishing will be fun too!
What a cute quilt idea. All those ice cream cones make me hungry for ice cream.
Love you header picture.
