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.
