Welcome to Week 11 of the {Big} City Girl QAL!

The designer for this week is Annabella sharing this block design from Marrakech, Morocco. Her block is an improv pieced Fatima’s hand in the colors of Marrakech. To see her tutorial for this block and to read more about her city, click here.  Annabella used Oakshott for her block which I just love!

Every third week during this QAL there will be a linky party on my blog as well as on Aylin’s blog where you can share your city blocks for a chance to win prizes. You can either follow the tutorials shared by the designers or design your own blocks. Any city themed blocks will qualify.  All blocks qualify once only and must be sewn.   The final link up will be for the grand prize and those must be finished items (pillows, totes, etc) using the blocks or a quilt top (quilt tops need not be quilted and bound yet).

And, it’s a linky week!  The lucky winner will receive:

3 bag patterns and

 

a $30 gift certificate!

Please take a moment to link up all of your wonderful blocks!
