How to Sew Along

Sewing along is simple! I won’t be sharing any more videos until my quilt is finished up, but I’ll be sharing the block designs here weekly on Fridays after this week. This week you can download the images for blocks 6 + 7. I’ll share two blocks per week each Friday until the final set of blocks are shared on Friday, June 20th! While the block layout patterns are free and can be downloaded here each week, there is also an option to purchase the full pattern now with block and quilt construction details and two different layout options.

Tips for Half-Square Triangles

• Make half-square triangles my favorite way by sizing up and trimming to your desired size.
• Use half-square triangle paper in your preferred size to make several identical half square triangles at a time.
• Use project left-overs as I’ve done in sewing triangles together from other projects and then trim as needed.

If your scrap bin is overflowing, I hope you’ll join in! I am making my blocks using 2″ finished half-square triangles, and I might end up doing an original setting with them…we’ll see how it goes!

Be sure to visit here next Friday where I’ll share blocks 8 and 9. Happy quilting!
