Merry Mini Christmas Sew Along Block 3

Hello and happy Tuesday! It’s Merry Mini Christmas Sew Along Block 3 day! If you’ve been sewing along, you know the blocks have been super cute so far, and this one is a really fun one! It might be my favorite (but next week’s block is a really fun one as well).

Merry Mini Christmas Sew Along Block 3

Block 3 is a fun house block, and I absolutely love it! I used Harper’s Garden fabric for the outer walls and roof of my house, and a Bella Solid for the inside section. I wanted to make sure there was a nice contrast between the three blues in my block and love how it turned out.

Tips for Making the House Quilt Block

• Choose fabrics for your block that have plenty of contrast. I used a large floral, a small floral, and a solid in three different shades of blue. I also made sure to use different fabrics than I’ve used previously.
• The Mini Simple Folded Corners ruler makes is very simple to make the folded corner sections of the roof.
• I used this Bloc Loc Flying Geese ruler to make the flying geese units in the center of the house
