This is Block Heads 3 Block 27 - The Proposal.  This block is also one of those wonderful, serendipitous bits of perfect timing. 

It's from Jen Kingwell and the story of why this block of Jen's is perfect for today, July 15.  Read about it here - Jen Kingwell.

Jen's block can be made in four sizes - 4", 6", 8" and 12" finished.  Yes, it is paper-pieced.  But that makes it a nice change, a bit of a challenge.  (I like paper-piecing!). The instructions and paper foundations can be found on Jen's blog. 

Jen used some of her Lollies to make The Proposal.  If you're not familiar with the Lollies, the 44" width of fabric is printed with eight stripes separated by a printed line of stitching.  (Shown in the picture above.). The stripes are about 5.25" wide, and the stitching line is about .25" wide.  The beauty - and genius! - of the Lollies is that they're a fast, easy way to get a very scrappy assortment of prints and colors.  The prints have a funky, vintage-inspired feel, and there is a mix of medium and small scale, multi-color and two-color, geometrics and squiggles.  And polka dots.

I love Jen's Lollies.  A lot. 

The awesome scrappiness of Jen's spectacular Cotter quilt is achieved with the variety provided by Lollies.

There are three Lollies prints in Jen's coming-in-November Winkipop collection.

The colors are a bit muted next to several of Jen's previous collections, but they mix together beautifully.  (Really.)

This is the Winkipop version of Antique Stars from Jen's book, Jen From One Block.  Book now.  Fabric in November.  (I know, waiting is hard.)

Just in case, the instructions and paper-piecing foundations for The Proposal can be found on Jen's blog - Jen Kingwell.
