Block Nine: Barcelona, Spain

Well Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; home of the famous Sagrada Familia by Gaudi, and host to a wonderful and rich culture, amazing architecture, and delicious cuisine! Travel with us in this final segment in our world tour together as we walk the streets of Barcelona with Pat, and her final amazing block for this BOM.

Pat Sloan on Block Nine
Our last block is for Barcelona Spain! I am a traveling girl and you can see that in my 'GLOBEtrotting' adventures I go far and wide. There are not enough blocks in this quilt for every city I want to visit. So even though I lived in Europe for 8 years, we never got to Spain. Barcelona is where I'll go first! Guell Park is incredible. The tiles work I see makes me giddy with excitement.

Inspiration from the City of Dreams; Barcelona, Spain
My block has a pinwheel variation in the middle, inspired by.. can you guess? TILES! And the buildings are incredible. I so want to see inside these buildings, are they are wild as the outside?
Next Month is the corners, they are all the same, and the sizes for the setting! Remember to watch Debby Brown's videos for ways to quilt yours, she has incredible ideas!
And... there will be a 2015 project.. I'm sketching and working on the 'Theme'.. it will be something new and fun!
Photos are by my very good friend Brenda Bartholic who was in Barcelona. She taught me to much about how to be creative, love you Brenda! ALSO click over to my blog post and I've got more photos to share!

I highly recommend that with dark/light quilts you prewash your fabric. I don't want any tears later when you wash that quilt and it runs blue onto white ..eep! The step of prewashing can be done quickly and then you are ready to rock and roll.
Many of you have joined me at my quilt group on Facebook called Quilt with Pat Sloan. We are sharing our Globetrotting blocks and MUCH MORE!
