Jacquelynne Steves is offering another series of free blocks-of-the-month called Cozy Afternoon.

There will be five blocks, each with a pattern to embroider or applique for the center. I have a large hassock with a lid which I’m going to cover, using five blocks – one for the top of the lid and four for the sides.
My version of Block 4 is shown in the top picture. This will be one of the sides of the hassock cover, using a vintage embroidery pattern for the center.
Jacquelynne also provides a pattern for an embroidered or appliqued center.
This was an easy block to make and made a nice frame for the embroidered center.
