Welcome to the first block of our World Tour 2001 series project! We begin
our tour in the USA -- home of Marcus fabrics -- with two
distinctly American motifs: The stately Statue of Liberty, and a
celebration of jazz music. A uniquely American art form, jazz was born in
New Orleans in the 1800's, derived from blues and ragtime music. By the
30's and 40's, jazz and swing became the inescapable soundtrack of
American popular culture. My inspiration for the quilt block came from the
Ken Burns PBS television series, "Jazz". --- Elle Colquitt

This series is designed for fusible web appliqué. Pattern pieces are
reversed and ready to trace onto fusible web (please refer to the
manufacturer's instructions on how to use fusible web). When your block is
finished, you can add a fun border to display your quilt individually or
join us each month to make all 6 blocks in our series - sew them together
with borders and sashing to make our complete World Tour quilt. The
finished 6-block quilt with full assembly instructions will be available
with Block 6. If you plan on making the full quilt, do not cut borders,
backing or binding at this time, simply put your blocks aside after step
#3. |
