Hello, friends! Today I’m so happy to be able to share a new quilt I’ve had to keep “under wraps” for quite a long time. I designed the Nine-Patch Square Dance quilt early last spring and pieced it with our Happy Days fabric collection in late July. By August it was off to American Patchwork & Quilting for photography and more so it could be included in an upcoming issue. I’m happy to announce that it will be included in the April 2021 issue which will arrive on newsstands next week. And even more exciting is the fact that American Patchwork & Quilting will be hosting a fun quilt along with this pattern beginning February 22nd.
Nine-Patch Square Dance Quilt
I had so much fun designing and making this fast and fun quilt. It goes together with a Charm Pack and two Honeybuns which really speeds up the cutting process. Of course, this also makes a terrific scrap quilt since the pieces are common to those found in our stash. My friend Marion Bott did the beautiful all-over quilting design on this quilt.
Quilt Details
Here are some of the details about this quilt:
- The finished quilt is 59 ½″ x 70″.
- Fabrics are from our Happy Days collection shipping in March.
- I used a solid cream background for many of the blocks, but I had fun using some of the low-volume prints in the collection for the background on other blocks.
- The aqua floral border and citrine binding are one of my favorite fabric combinations from this collection.
- You’ll find information on the Bella solids that coordinate with the Happy Days group on this post.
- And you can purchase a copy of the April 2021 issue here if you’re unable to get a copy in your area.
Sew Along
- The Quilt Along for this quilt runs from February 22nd to May 2nd. You can find more details about the Quilt Along sponsored by American Patchwork & Quilting here.
- Be sure to download the printable schedule from the link above which will help keep you on track.
- Also, American Patchwork & Quilting has a private Facebook Group here where you can share progress and get tips and more for the quilt along.
- I’ll also be filming some videos to go along with the quilt along and share some of my tips for this quilt. Stay tuned!
- Finally, if you’re sharing progress along the way, use the hashtag #APQQuiltalong.

MaryBeth Little says
Your quilt is so cheerful. I love making scrappy quilts, especially baby quilts.
JillAnne McCarty says
My favorite quilt block is any star with a large enough square in the center for a tiny fussy cut print.
Julia Frichtl says
I love sampler quilts and quilt alongs. I have done all 3 Blockhead quilts and this will be my second APQS project.
Kerie says
My favorite quilt block is the Shoo Fly! It’s just so simple and fun with the right color combo.
Sandal Keeffe says
Sherri-this is a great quilt and I know some square dance affectionados (sp.) that will enjoy it! I’ll add some more blocks to make it larger for them. My favorite quilt block is anything that can be scrappy! I don’t usually buy quilting bundles of a complete line so quilt blocks that can be adapted to scraps are perfect for me. Sandal
Jean Farrington says
Hard to choose just one favorite block! I love the dresden block!!!!
Davida Sanders says
Sherri,
My favorite quilt block is the Ohio Star as well as the Churn Dash. It’s hard to say what projects I like the best, but I would say smaller ones like lap quilts, table runners, small quilts, etc.
I so enjoy reading your blogs and watching your videos. Chelsea and you are a breath of fresh air to my day every day.
I would love to win the giveaway.
Thanks,
Davida Sanders
Dianne says
Sampler quilts are my favorite to make with each block being more beautiful than the last. The result is always so interesting. I check my email every morning when I have my coffee and always find the information delightful. Thanks for all great information ❤️
Polly Ontiveros says
I’m relatively new at quilting, so I haven’t a lot of experience with different quilt blocks, but I do enjoy making the pineapple block. I really would like to try my hand at making log cabin blocks and courthouse step blocks. They’re on my To-do list. I really like 9-patch. Blocks, too. They FINALLY look decent.
Debora Martin says
I am so excited for this quilt along. I bought and downloaded the pattern yesterday from APQ. My favorite block is the pineapple block done with foundation paper, I am a brand new quilter and the results from using foundation paper make my blocks look perfect.
Dawn Tidd says
I love any block that’s scrappy. Star blocks are some of my favorite blocks. I love watching your videos and look forward to hearing from you and Chelsea every other Monday! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Angela Miller says
Sherri,
Thank you for another great blog post. I enjoy reading them while enjoying my morning coffee. My favorite quilting project is anything that challenges me to try something new or practice basic skills. Paper piecing, applique, flying geese, hst’s, etc. I also enjoy making memory quilts. Thank you for your tutorials and taking the time to write your blog. Have a blessed day.
Angela
Kim says
The 0 peach is one of my favorite blocks so I look forward to making this quilt, would love to make it with your fabrics!
Brenda Powers says
I plan to get a copy of this magazine s soon as possible. I want to make this quilt! My favorite quilts have coordinated fabrics with the swoon block being a favorite. I am a fan of your blog, patterns, and fabrics, Sherri!
Beth says
I love the log cabin blocks because you can make them into anything…from potholders to table runners to a king size quilt. You can use all your scraps! No matter what, it always seems to look good.
Thank you for your wonderful blogs, newsletter and I love listening to the podcast, Thanks!
Elaine says
My favorite quilting projects are those I make for friends as a gift: for their newborn babies, for weddings, birthdays, or just because I love them. I think of them often as I quilt their project, thinking happily of their surprise, hoping for their delight and sending prayers in their direction.
Your quilts are beautiful and every one of your patterns that I have made is excellent, with measurements in all the right places–so I can keep “checking” my work.
Clara Renken says
Sherri,
This is a beautiful quilt. I have been watching you and Chelsi and have learned alot. I really got hooked on your English Paper piecing. I have made quite a few Hexagon flowers. I just finished my first Window Box from Labor of Love. Now I am off to do Grandmother’s Garden and your Christmas Sweet. And I just got my 4 inch log cabin ruler so I am going to try that.
Thanks for all your videos, they are amazing and you do a fantastic job. Clara
Barbara Jones says
Hello Sheriri, The quilt us so happy looking, just the right Spring pick me up needed on this cold and snowy day here in Pennsylvania..
Leslie says
Sherri,
This quilt pattern is terrific! I am new to quilting and have learned so much by reading your blog and listening to the podcasts done by you and Chelsi.
My favorite block is the log cabin. I just finished a Christmas one using the pattern in your book!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Leslie
Teresa Brown says
I’m so excited to begin this quilt! My favorite block is the 9 patch and I spy several of them in this quilt. I just finished the Labor of Love sew along and I recognize the sashing configuration in this quilt too. It’s really beautiful.
Becky says
Choosing a favorite quilt block is like choosing a favorite child—it depends on who is behaving that day! BTW, great job, on the podcast. I appreciate the time and effort by the whole team. (I’m so looking forward to cake,! Layer cakes are my favorite—no calories and they’re so pretty!
Linda Johnson says
I’ve been trying to decide which block is my favorite. Lately I’ve been leaning towards “house: blocks. I love blocks that challenge me and love blocks that are good using my scrap stash!!!!
Becky says

Janeen H says
Hi Sherri, what a beautiful quilt! I love how the small nine-patches surround the larger square in the center. My favorite quilt patch at-the-moment is the log cabin block. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Rinda Gillespie says
Really like this pattern. My favorite quilt block is the Churn Dash, with Log Cabin coming in a close second.
Shannon Wicker says
One of my favorite quilts blocks is the log cabin. I do love nine pathces as well so this quilt definitely drew me in. I can’t wait to get my copy of APQ Magazine. I have always be one to just make quilts, but recently I have started to venture in to making different bags to use with projects or to keep sewing supplies in, so much fun!!
Arlene Helms says
First, thank you for sharing your wonderful designs both in fabric and patterns with us. My favorite projects are smaller things like lap quilts and table runners. I’m soon to be a first time grandma so I’m guessing baby quilts will move to the top of the list!
Cindy Bettine says
I just made the first Churn Dash Block in your Block of the month. It’s the first time I’ve ever done a Block of the Month and so I am so excited for February 4th when your next Block comes out. I too like scrappy and made Chelsi’s Valentine Heart Scrappy Pillow this past weekend. I love quilting and to be honest I don’t know that I have ever found a pattern I didn’t like. The creative process of putting things together gives me so much joy!
Siobhan says
I love this quilt! I was excited to see it on your podcast. I think my favorite block would be the humble nine patch. I also love star blocks.
Debbie Myers says
My favorite block is the Log Cabin because it can be set so many different ways. I like to do quilt alongs and BOM projects because you aren’t overwhelmed with the whole quilt all at once. I love your and Chelsea’s fabric lines because they’re so fresh!
Mary Giantonio says
Sherri,
I am working on the labor of love sampler . Really enjoying working on the blocks. So far I have 9 out of the 12 done.. my favorite , so far has to be the hexie block. But all are beautiful! I am working with the balboa collection. ?????
Mary
Jean Ridley says
My favorite block is a star made with the red rec rulers. I just love those points.
Wow your quilt looks like a fun one to make. . I love your posts and look forward to reading them each day as well as listen to your podcasts and watch your tutorials.
Michelle Brunner says
My favorite block is the plain old half square triangle. I really enjoy the satisfaction of pressing a freshly trimmed block open, and the fun of playing with arranging in different ways. Overally favorite projects have all been gifts; there’s just more meaning and enjoyment in the process when I can imagine the other person receiving it!
Donna C says
My favorite quilt block is flying geese. It can be used in so many different ways.
Mary McCluskey says
Beautiful quilt! I can see why this is your favorite quilt photo. My favorite block is a scrappy star block, any kind of star. ‘Can’t wait to get my copy of APQ and participate in the quilt along! Thanks for the sneak peek, Sherri ?
Donna Sproston says
My favorite quilt block? That is like asking what is my favorite way to eat chocolate. Churn dash, log cabin, nine patch, sawtooth star…the scrapper the better. I look forward to the arrival of my April copy and the arrival of April as well. I love this quilt.
Lydia says
Star blocks are my favorite. It’s a thrill to see points match and not be eaten up at the seam. Always a challenge ❣️ I enjoy BOM projects. I like choosing the fabrics and learning what works and what doesn’t I often make 2 blocks after studying the first one.
Hopefully this post goes through. Last one didn’t. Not sure what did wrong.
Sandi McDaniel says
My favorite block is a star, but I love this one and definitely want to try it in your beautiful sunny fabrics.
Mary Jane Amirault says
Love all your fabrics!! Right now I am working on “Labor of love” sampler. Well behind but I will get it done. The block I like the best (so far) is the log cabin. Love the nine patch square dance Awaiting the magazine to be on the store shelves.
Mary B Hibbert says
The quilt is beautiful. I enjoy the simple repetitive style of the quilt, it is soothing. My favorite quilt block is the nine-patch it can be a block on its own or it can be part of a larger block.
Beth Foushee says
Hi Sherri,
I love the 9 patch block. You have taken the simplicity of this block and turned it into such a stunning quit that should appeal to beginners and advanced quilters.
Deborah says
What a beautiful quilt Sherri! I’m looking forward to trying out the block, I will keep my eye out for the magazine’s new edition. My favorite blocks are the log cabin and the nine patch. I love gifting quilted projects to family and friends. Perhaps my favorite “projects” are the moments spent with my daughters and granddaughters sharing our love of quilting…..Making Memories.
Janel says
What a beautiful quilt! My current favorite block is the disappearing nine patch, I have to be honest it changes, It was anything using HST just awhile back. I would love to use these fabrics to make this quilt they are gorgeous!
Jennifer says
I love blocks that have some hidden meaning to them- like making a Farmer’s Daughter block for a quilt for a farmer friend.
Bonnie May says
I am in love with this quilt as I am with each reveal you & Chelsi do. I love your fabrics also and waiting to use my Balboa fat quarter bundle, which would look wonderful with this pattern. I don’t usually win but I would love to win this one!
Ann Santilli says
My favorite quilt block is the log cabin, I loved watching your tutorials using the creative grids ruler to make them perfect. Well let’s be honest, I love watching all your videos! Thank you for taking the time to do everything you do
Ramona Johnson says
What s precious quilt with endless possibilities. I love scrappy and especially the versatile 4 patch. So many options.
Christine says
Sherri, I love this quilt! My kids enjoyed square dancing growing up and the name just fits those blocks perfectly.
I’m a new quilter, just in this last year, so I can’t say that I have a favorite block yet, but I’ve been making your quilted potholders like they’re going out of style! I gave away four sets this Christmas and now I’m working on a set for myself. Great way to practice my new-found skills!
Kathy B says
I can’t wait to see this pattern as a scrappy quilt…. thanks for more great quilts
Kathy Worden says
Love the 9-patch square dance quilt! I think it would be cute to put it on point. Hmmm. I don’t have a favorite quilt block as there are too many from which to choose. I found Moda Blockheads through you and The Fat Quarter Shop. For quilting projects, I tend to choose ones that take a long time and I’m learning to sprinkle in table runners and quick projects for a sense of accomplishment along the way. Thanks for all you do.
Faerie Pabich says
This is my favorite kind of quilt…scrappy, gorgeous colors and beautiful fabric! You’ve done it again, Miss Sherri. I would live to win the kit and make one, too!
Linda says
Love your new quilt design! My favorite quilt block is Dresden. My favorite projects are smalls since I live in sunny warm Florida we don’t have a need for many quilts. I look forward to following your posts everyday. Kudos for being included in a publication!
Kathleen reeve says
Sherri, you make my week happy with your posts and tutorials. Love you and Chelsea together on YouTube. My favorite block is the log cabin and really look for patterns that are lap sized like this one. Thanks for your time on keeping us all engaged in this sewing experience.
Margot says
This quilt is beautiful! My favorite blocks are the 9-patch and flying geese.
Auleen Jarrett says
Its hard to pick a favorite, usually the one I’m working on. I do love stars and log cabins. Anything that keeps me at my sewing machine!
Elizabeth S. says
Love this quilt! I am glad I subscribe to this magazine and sew looking forward to this issue show up in my mailbox. I can’t saw I actually have a favorite block but I do love a log cabin block. I will make all sizes of quilts . Love the variety.
Charlotte says
Beautiful quilt and a cute pattern. My favorite block is the log cabin. I enjoy your blog so much. Would love to win this kit.
Jeanette says
My favorite quilt block is always the project I’m currently working on. The planning and fabric pull is the most exciting part. Right now I’m doing the Sunshine quilt from your Labor of Love book using scraps from all my 2021 quilts. I’ll make one block after each quilt or project is done to put in the quilt at year end–my own block of the month! My current project is the Tilda Plum pattern to improve my curved piecing skills.
Grindl Hawley says
I love love love the square dance quilt!!! I was wondering if you would be able to make the blocks with a layer cake square????? ? I love nine patches
Colleen Pflieger says
I have to say my favorite is the log cabin. There are so many ways to lay it out. I will await my magazine in the mail!
Sue says
I have a hard time choosing a favorite pattern but it may just be log cabin. So many different variations! Your quilt is lovely. I have my Balboa fat quarters and can’t wait to use them!
Kathleen Gee says
I really love the Ohio star block, especially when it is set with an alternating block to create a secondary pattern. This new quilt pattern is beautiful!
Nancy Thone says
Such a cute quilt! My fav blocks to do are BOMs – they are manageable for me to do and I don’t get bored! Looking forward to receiving my subscription pattern!
MaryEllen Tricarico says
Hi Sherri, I look forward to each morning so that I can open my emails and read your latest. I love following you because you always have tutorials. My favorite blocks are four patches, flying geese and making flowers with EPP. I just finished the A Quilting Life 2020 BOM with The Front Porch and I love the way it came out!
Tracey Holzer says
Beautiful, Sherri and I love the baptist fan quilting on it. I’d say that a scrappy log cabin is my favourite project with a cozy flannel back to complete it! Thanks for this chance because I’d love to make this quilt!!
LOUISE HUFNAGEL says
I don’t have a favorite block. My favorite is making things to give to other people, so i have done a wide variety of quilting and sewing projects. This 9-patch square dance one looks like it would be a fun one to do.
Loree Wallace says
Good morning! Thank you so much for everything you do. I love your blog posts, your tutorials & your podcast. I have learned so much more about quilting in the last 12 months. I recently finished a Jacob’s Ladder quilt, and I think it became my favorite block. I loved how the 2 colors came together.
So happy for you that you get to be doing a quilt along with the magazine! It’s always a big accomplishment to get published, and your work is amazing!
Delores Rast says
What a beautiful quilt Sherri!!!! I like making quilts that are easy and fast with big blocks that use precuts. Due to sickness, it’s hard for me to cut fabric and make anything big unless I do it in pieces (quilt as you go).
Peggy S says
Your quilt is beautiful. I love making flying geese and right now I am making a temperature quilt using flying geese for the high and low temperatures.
Kim says
Sherri – This quilt is beautiful! I’m new to quilting so I’m not sure what my favorite block is yet.
My second quilt is from your balboa collection for my new granddaughter! I’m having such fun
and appreciate your videos showing me the way!
Cecilia says
My favorite block is the Dresden Plate! I love being able to use so many different fabrics in the one block. Your quilt is beautiful!
Denise Benson says
Beautiful quilt. I love 9 patch quilts but my all time favorite block is the log cabin.
Annie Rego says
Hello everyone, first off I have to say that I just recently stumbled upon your blog and videos. And I cannot get enough of them. There is something about the colors in your quilts, your soft spoken demeanor and all your beautiful projects that just makes me happy and literally brings a smile to my face.
That said, I love all blocks. Due to one of your posts about journaling quilt projects I’ve reorganized all my WIPs and have found some very lovely ones I’m now inspired to complete. So I have to say my favorite quilt project is one that I complete. So satisfying to finally get there.
Thanks for sharing your quilting life with all of us.
Annie from San Diego.
Julie M says
I love this quilt. My favorite quilt block right now is Pathways.
Lisa Henderson says
My favorite quilt projects are mini quilts, they are quick. I work full time so they are easy for me to finish.
SARAH R says
Beautiful quilt and beautiful pic! I love star blocks and sampler quilts. Enjoy your posts, especially the Saturday Seven posts, I look forward to reading them each week.
Melissa Cady says
I absolutely love this new quilt. I’ve recently started loving Sampler quilts – I made my first last year with a BOM and loved it enough I signed up for another BOM. It’s fun to learn new blocks and techniques. This pattern and fabrics are absolutely gorgeous.
Margaret Reedy says
My favorite block is the Carpenter Star. I have made two quilts for grandchildren using this star. I am in the process of completing a quilt for each grandchild. (10). It makes me happy to create quilts for the people I love.

Traci slomba says
I’m a sucker for a churn dash! I’ve been organizing my sewing room and using some tips you have shared on your blog and podcast, my favorite podcast to listen to! I’m thinking I’m going to use my scraps for most of this. I must say…this is the best quilt along quilt I’ve seen, all levels of quilters can participate! Thank you for designing a perfect quilt for the community!
Deb says
My fav quilt block is the log cabin
Colleen Ross says
So happy to see this adorable quilt. I think my favorite quilt has to be dresden plate, wedding ring , and grandmother’s flower garden, (so many hexi versions) (I’ve made 2 big quilts in hexi grandmother’s quilts. It is addictive. But I love my dresden , so many possibilities. I’m new to your tutorials, I’m doing the 2021 block of month with you. I just love binge watching your tutorials. Learned some new tips, tricks, and I had to order that 4 in log cabin ruler to try it. Love tiny blocks too. Thanks for sharing and all the posts you do. Excited to see next block and tutorials. Thanks so much…
Rosemary Warthen says
Can’t wait to get this new APQ
magazine! I have always loved this pattern. I haven’t started a project this year. This one will be my first one for this year. Anxiously waiting for my subscription to arrive!
Laurie says
Love this quilt! I am very partial to nine patch quilts which makes this one so appealing to me. I also love to work with chain blocks with various other blocks dispersed throughout. Love your blog and podcast! Also making the block of the month. Thanks for all you do!
Dee says
I love log cabin blocks the most!
Margaret Heinkel says
I LOVE scrappy quilts! It’s a great way to use your favorite leftovers again and continue to spread the joy!
Diane Boes says
Wow, can’t wait for the magazine to arrive. I love how this quilt looks. I like simple patterns that look complex and highlight many different fabrics.
Robin Voak says
I’m starting my first EPP project ever from your tutorial on Grandmother’s Garden. I ordered the hexis in your and Chelsi’s Balboa fabric, so I’m excited for that! One of my goals was to try something new this year, so that is it. I also wanted to join a quilt a long, so hoping to win this bundle and I’m also doing your 2021 QAL…never participated in one of those either. It’s a year for firsts I suppose! Lol Thanks for this opportunity!
Andi says
Hi Sherri,
My favorite quilt block is the Friendship Star. Its fast and easy and always looks nice in a quilt. I’m enjoying using a bunch of your older lines up in your 2020 Block of the Month that I currently finishing. Love this new quilt and can’t wait to get the magazine. Thanks for all you do for the quilting community!
Linda Rouse says
I love all your patterns. My favorite block is the log cabin block – scrappy.
Your new fabric line is wonderful.
Thank you for this giveaway.
Barbara says
HI !. I am waiting my copy of Patchwork in the mail. Am going to make this quilt. I do love a 9 patch quilt, as I love making Irish Chain quilts too,
Mary Jane says
I really enjoy the Ohio Star block and like to make either wall hangings or table topper patterns. Your new pattern looks like a lot of fun, I think I will enjoy making it. Thanks so much for this project, it will be fun to have this to concentrate on.
Liliana Phillips says
I am new to quilting and have loved trying to sew different blocks, my favorites are star blocks and log cabin blocks. Thank you for this awesome giveaway.
Julie says
I LOVE this quilt! I think my favorite quilt blocks are the Log Cabin and Churn Dash. I very much appreciate all of your tutorials & have only been quilting for about a year.
Cindy Bannon says
I love this quilt. I like quilt blocks that use precuts. This looks like a fun qal.
Elizabeth Gelineau says
I love this pattern! Can’t wait for this issue of the magazine to come out. My favorite type of quilt project is a sampler quilt and my favorite quilt block is the Ohio Star!
Patty Jones says
Lovely quilt! I am not sure I can truly choose a favorite quilt block, but I am partial to a tumbler pattern because the first quilt top I started used the tumbler, was going to be a queen size, and was over half done when our house burnt 11 years ago and I lost everything. The next block I am partial to is the log cabin because a couple of years later that was the first large quilt I ever finished as a gift for a young boy who had just been adopted. Making that quilt brought my joy for creating back and really got my quilt journey started. I love scrappy quilts, and also sampler quilt projects. I especially seem to love all of your block designs, just love your style!!
Jacquie Fanning says
Stars…just about every kind to quilt, I just love them!!! 🙂
Jeanne Fuelling Brown says
Since I am a new quilter, I don’t really have a favorite quilt block. I have worked some with the Dresden plate pattern in other sewing projects. I am looking forward to learning from all you great quilters out there and would love for this nine patch to be one I can work on.
Betty L Liehr says
I have never won anything by commenting…maybe this will be THE ONE! I would love that! My favorite block is hard to define because it seems to be the next one I have planned. I get bored easily so BOM’s and many projects going simultaneously are the norm for me and my favorite is usually the next thing on my list. Yes I do have a “list” or I’d never finish anything; I would just hop from one UFO to the next. LOL.
Dortha says
A very pretty quilt. My favorite block is the monkey wrench.
Catherine says
Hi Sherri,
I just love this quilt of yours and am going to try the sew along. I am very slow in piecing but look forward to participating. The quilts I’ve made thus far were based on the wishes of the recipients. I appreciate the appearance of the vintage fabrics and love the scrappy look. I don’t have a favorite block, that would be like choosing my favorite child. I enjoy your blog!
Rosemary Bennett says
I am enjoying your website and your creativity in quilting. My favorite blocks are the ones you are designing for the Mystery Quilts with Fat Quarter Shop! I love your tutorials which explain how to do quilting projects so well and make them look easy. Thank you for your hard work.
Carol says
I love the log cabin block. It can be done so many different ways, sorta an endless block.
Have really enjoyed you and Chelsea on YouTube.
Vickie Bell says
My favorite block is the Churn Dash….hard to pick just one! And I love scrappy quilts.
Kathleen Callan says
I have quite a few of your patterns and books, but realky looking firward to this one!
I love all the blocks, but two are tied for my favorite: log cabin and pineapple. They both look good and exciting no matter what. Thanks for doing this. Kay
Rizwana Qaseem says
Hi,
Love your blogs and podcasts. They give me inspiration to work on my UFO’s and help me to plan new ones.
My favourite block is anything scrappy but I love grandma flower in EPP.
I am in Canada and sometimes buying all these fabric lines is not possible. But I enjoy most of your fabric lines. They are so happy and fresh. Keep doing (you and your lovely daughter) what you are doing to give us some sunshine because that’s how see them.
Monique German says
Lovely quilt, Sheri! I’ve added it to me TBS (to be sewn) list! Honestly, my favorite block is whatever I am working on. I don’t pick it unless I love it. Right now, I’m making a medallion quilt with the center block an enlarged version of your Family Tree, using Balboa fabrics. It’s my favorite!
Jackie Norwood says
simple but I love a disappearing 4patch!
Ginger Thompson says
My favorite quilt block is the last one I did – the classic log cabin. I’m fairly new to quilting so every project is a favorite. Looking forward to joining this beautiful sew along
Jan says
Log cabin is my favorite, especially scrappy!
Cathy Arceneaux says
Sherri
Love ? this quilt. I have learned a lot from your tutorials as I am a beginner at quilting. Looking forward to giving this a try.
Kristin Kelley says
I think my favorite pattern is a curvy log cabin, I just finished one and it was so fun! As far as projects go, I think throw size quilts are my favorite, something I can finish fast.
Lucy Peterson says
So hard to choose a favorite block! I live some fancy pinwheels, a Dresden plate, the churn dash. I love patterns like this one that can use stash. Great pattern! I will probably make it more than once.
Lisa Keller says
I am a huge fan of everything you design. I seen the quilt along on Facebook and loved the design and then seen it was one of yours! Thanks for your blog and pod cast!

I’m so excited about this quilt! Right now my favorite quilt block is a nine patch- I made several quilts last year using them, so this is perfect timing! My preferred quilt size to make is a lap size. Thanks for the giveaway!
Danette says
I love the nine patch square dance. I have many of your patterns and they’re all great. I love traditional blocks like the Dresden plate, my favorite and Ohio Star..
Marie says
Stars are my favorite, especially the Ohio star. I make all sizes of quilts. Just depends on what I feel the final creation will be for or who it might be going to. LOVE your patterns, and your studio is an inspiration.
Jane says
Don’t have a particular favorite block, but I’m really enjoying making all kinds of tiny ones, especially stars….so I guess I do have a favorite. Your quilt is beautiful!
Jody Smith says
Thanks for throwing this giveaway. I have learned so much from you and now I’m loving the podcasts! My favorite block is the log cabin and anything with stars. I love your designs and have already ordered a half yard bundle of Happy Days. I am so excited to work with it. Also, thanks for listing the solids that will work with each collection. That helps so much.
Debra Freese says
Hard to choose a favorite quilt block. Lately I’ve been making uneven 9patch blocks for a few gifts. That one never fails to impress me no matter how I set it.
Diane Moughler says
I am very excited about starting this quilt. I love the name of it, “square dance” quilt and it is so pretty.
My favorite quilt pattern is the grandmother’s flower garden. I have watched your video on English paper piecing and love it.
Janet G says
What a beautiful quilt and a great giveaway! Definitely going to be looking for this issue! My favorite quilt block is the snail trail storm at sea combination… I’ve only been quilting for 2.5 years so while I’ve made a snail trail block, I haven’t tried the storm at sea and am nowhere close to the more advanced combo block! This square dance block does look like something in my skill set though, count me in!
Diane Mather says
My favorite quilt block is the churn dash. I love the scrappy versions from your 2021 BOM. Thank you for sharing your talent@
Darlene Gregory says
Love this new 9 patch quilt! Hope to find the magazine to get the pattern. My favorite all time quilt block is a Dresden plate. It reminds me of my grandmother and the wonderful quilts that she had. I also love your fabric choices. So pretty and delicate looking and well coordinated! Thank you for the opportunity of this giveaway 🙂
Tammy says
I can’t wait to participate in this sew along – such a beautiful pattern!
My favorite block is probably a string block. I love to use my scraps up!
Sandra T says
I love this quilt, and am looking forward to getting my copy of the magazine. My favorite quilt block is the the log cabin. I do enjoy doing quilts thought with jelly rolls and layer cakes! I like the name of this block because my Dad (way back in the 50’s) was a square dance caller and that is how he and my Mom met!
Karen Smith says
Sherri, I’ve been following you for the past year and was new to traditional pieced quilts at the time. I’ve been following along with Moda Blockheads and always appreciate your tips and tricks. I have learned so much from you this last year. I don’t know that I have a favorite block, but I like blocks that give a secondary pattern. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I love all your quilts!
Karen
Chris says
Sherri,
I do not have a favorite block, I have only been quilting for just under one year. I am always looking to challenge myself with “new to me” blocks and have been happy with my accomplishments so far. The block I am most looking forward to at this time is the log cabin block.
Thank you for your excitement and knowledge that you freely share with all of us.
Claudia E says
Very pretty quilt. I am looking forward to my next issue of the magazine.
Jann Glumac says
Thank you for creating this quilt pattern . I like the order in which you placed each square with the color pops keeping your eye focused. I made a Christmas table runner with this same pattern but added snowmen to the solid squares. It has been fun to decorate with. Creating your quilt would be a blessing for my grand daughter who enjoys bright colors. My goal is to give each grandchild a quilt–one for a childhood gift & one for a wedding gift. Have fun choosing the winner!
Debora Preputnik says
Hi, Sherri. I am excited about participating in this quilt along project. I don’t really have a favorite block, but enjoy piecing, as well as applique. I really enjoy the quilting journals I subscribe to, and have learned so much from the various blogs and video demonstrations I have seen. The quilt along will be a new experience, that I am looking forward to. Thanks for the opportunity.
Cindy says
Hi! My favorite block is the Churn Dash. Easy and classic! Can be made in so many different fabric colors and looks more difficult than it really is to make. Your Square Dance quilt is gorgeous!
Kathryn Landreth says
Beautiful quilt! I don’t have a favorite block, but I love making quilts for kids to play with on the floor. Nothing more satisfying than knowing your hard work is going to be appreciated!
Stephanie Smith says
My favorite block is the Straw Flowers Block. I also enjoy blocks set on point after watching your tutorial and how simply you explained it. I’m a fairly new quilter and have always liked Civil War prints. However, your lines are printing me to move in a different direction. Thank you for your time.
Sharon Loftus says
There are so many wonderful designs to choose from. But I do love the disappearing 9 block.

I am so excited to be joining this QAL! I love the pattern and the fabrics shown in the photo! It makes me think of spring which we are sorely in need of at this time. I LOVE doing quilt alongs. They are kind of my ‘favorite’ quilt because the QAL is so much fun. It makes the quilt special.

Holly McMillian says
Love this quilt and excited to participate. While I love log cabin styles I love any thing that I can pull from my stash the needed fabrics.

Tami Nothstine says
This is a beautiful quilt and I love the fabric. My favorite quilt pattern is the basket quilt. My Great Grandmother made a basket quilt and I had it on my bed growing up so it has a special place in my heart. This is the reason I wanted to learn to quilt. The basket quilt has overwhelmed me for years so I haven’t tried it but I now have my supplies and am going to try a basket quilt this year. My favorite type of quilt is scrappy.
Annik MacLeod says
What a beautiful quilt! I cannot wait to sew along with you all. It is definitely challenging to pick one favourite quilt block but do tend to gravitate towards star blocks. The first quilt along I did from APQM was from a few years ago and it was a blast! It forced me to get out of my comfort zone and use my scraps I guess I better get sorting. 🙂
Patty Boyd says
One of my favorite quilt blocks is the maple leaf. I also live any star block. This new quilt is gorgeous. I can’t wait to buy the magazine! I truly love your blog, videos and podcasts. Thanks for all you do!

Love the design! Lately any block that doesn’t need a ton of focus, so 4 patch and 9-patches are fabulous. Thanks so much – waiting for my copy of the magazine to arrive…
Love your blog and have been enjoying it for quite some time!
Melanie says
The Granny Square has to be my favorite — love it as a signature block on memory quilts.
Anne says
I don’t have a favorite block really. I like two color quilts, more traditional. I like the look of one repeated block in a quilt over a sampler one, though I tend to get bored making the same one over and over. Thank you for the chance to win this pretty quilt kit!
Kath Slade says
Double sawtooth star is on of my favourite blocks. I’m realatively new to quilting and the biggest thing I’ve done atm are table runners and always in scrappy fabric. ?

My favorite quilt block is any star block,, which probably is why my favorite quilts are patriotic ones. I love quilting so much and it’s been a godsend to me during the past year, with all the shutdowns. Thank you for all your posts and videos, they’ve been very helpful to me!

Bonnie Hajny says
I guess I have 2 favorite blocks or 3 as they are the heart of a lot of different designs. So the are 4 patch, half square triangle, and 9 patch. They’re easy and can do lots of thins when put together. Like your square dance quilt

I love this Nine-Patch Square Dance Quilt and can’t wait to join the sew along.
Maryanne Richards says
I love star blocks, there is so much you can do with them. My favorite projects to make are baby quilts. It is a great way to play with fabric choices and audition blocks. Even if they don’t get used for babies they make cute table cloths for a picnic table.
Judyk says
Star blocks always catch my eye, I don’t think I’ve ever met a star quilt I didn’t love. Your quilt is definitely on my bucket list. I’ll be watching.for my copy of the magazine. You and Chelsea have kept me company in my sewing room, thanks to you both.
Linda Kendall says
I love this new quilt you shared and am excited it is in the next issue of that great magazine! My favorite block is whichever one I’m making at the time – esp. if I’m learning! It has been so fun to follow you and Chelsi! I found you in your fourth podcast and immediately went back and watched the first three – I haven’t missed one since and have told several friends about you! I’m excited to get your Happy Days fabrics and after yesterday’s podcast I’m VERY curious about another fabric collection already in March! Can that be true?!

Hi Sheri! I love all kinds of blocks! I participated in your block of the month 2020 and am doing so again this year. Thank you so much! Last year I used the Bloomington collection and I love it!! This year I’m doing your happy days collection. But I think my favorite project for 2020 was the Labor of Love sampler quilt in your Balboa collection. I love love love that fabric!!

Michele Dickinson says
Beautiful quilt. My favorite blocks are feathered stars.
Janet Jordan says
This is so exciting! I can’t wait to get the magazine and make your quilt. My favorite block is the Ohio Star but the Churn Dash, and Log Cabin are also really special to me. I’m learning to love making blocks with your precut hexies.
Marcella says
Hello. My favorite has been the nine patch because it’s so versatile and it could be used in so many projects and it could be used with jelly rolls if scraps if different sizes. I’ve been doing the little bags from your tutorial as a gift for friends from scraps from my quilts and told them they could be used as cosmetic bags or a bag for their masks in their car:) Thanks for your wonderful mother daughter videos, it reminds me of the times my mom and I had. She passed in February 2020 and sewing has been my therapy.
Marina says
My favourite is the 9 patch, you can do so much with it.
Helen LeBrett says
It’s a beautiful quilt Sherri! I’ll be on the lookout for that magazine: I’d love to join the quilt-along! Hmm, I don’t think I have a favorite quilt block, but I do love to make quilts in lap size: it just seems so perfect to know that someone is going to be able to wrap up in one of my quilts. 🙂 Hugs, H
Donna Reuter says
I like this quilt also
Will also look for magazine.
Amanda Roberts says
I enjoy star blocks- Ohio, sawtooth, etc. I love making quilts that will be given to family and friends.
Judy Thimpson says
My favorite quilt block is the log cabin. I love how there are so many ways to lay them out and get completely different designs. Mostly I like making table runners and place mats for my home. But this past year I have been working through making quilts for all my kids and grand kids.
Nancy says
I would love to make the Square Dance quilt. My favorite quilt block is the Friendship Star. I also like to make Irish Chain quilts and any pattern that uses up acraps.

I love a Crown Of Thorns pattern. It was my first big quilt, which was made for my mother. Love this new pattern…it’s a definite will make.
Stacie Waters says
I’m an old fashioned girl and my favorite is the good old churn dash or a simple pinwheel. Although I love some of the newly designed blocks, something brings me back to my childhood with the vintage styles. I love how your new square dance is a take on the vintage 9 patch and the nine patch within the 9 blocks is pretty nifty! Great pattern, so much movement, I love it!
JaNae Smith says
I love this quilt! I enjoy your videos and podcasts. One of my favorite blocks is the log cabin. Thank you for being a light at the end of the tunnel.
Gina Martin says
My favorite block is the log cabin block. I love all of the endless variations you can make with log cabin blocks, including scrappy log cabins. I enjoy making larger lap sized quilts…friends and family seem to use them more often, especially in recent months, and draw a bit of comfort from a quilted hug when the real hugs have to wait. Thanks for all you do! I’ve learned a lot from your blog and videos…and enjoy the podcasts with Chelsi and Billy?
Kim Peterson says
LOVE all your fabric lines! Fairly new to quilting but love the scrappy sampler quilts! Your square dance quilt is gorgeous!
Elizabeth Eichelberger says
My favorite block is the nine patch. I used it to make a memory quilt for my niece who lost her husband unexpectantly to a heart attack at 50 years of age,. She had a lot of shirts that she didn’t know what to do with so my youngest daughter volunteered me to make a quilt for her out of the shirts. To my dismay I started to cut the shirts up and proceeded to make nine patches. It started me on my adventure with quilting.
Kathy Capps says
I love making jelly roll quilts.
Jeanne says
I am a new quilter, but seem to be drawn to the Log Cabin blocks. I enjoy watching your tutorials and your tricks and tips. Thank you.
Marianne LaSala says
Love this nine patch square dance great twist on a classic. My “favorite” is always changing. I’ll always have a special love of log cabin since I started on that. Right now I’ve been having fun making an I Spy quilt with the square inside a square method. Also addicted to hexagons!

Patricia Childress says
Just found this blog. I love this quilt. My favorite is disappearing nine patch.

Monica Campbell says
Such a cheery, beautiful quilt!! I love making simple yet interesting quilts, ‘eye candy’ quilts, and baby quilts.

My favorite quilt block would be the sawtooth star. I like to do mystery and quilt alongs. Thank you for your blog.
Leigh Anne Humphrey says
I have so many favorite blocks! However, it usually seems to be whatever I’m currently working on. Last year it was the churn dash. This year I’m working on several equilateral triangle/Diamond blocks. A favorite is also the 9-patch so I’m looking forward to this sew along! It’s a beautiful quilt!
Sharon Valtman says

Favorite block is double wedding ring but I have yet to attempt an entire quilt.
Wendy says
My favorite kind of quilt project is a block of the month. It keeps me accountable— and I actually finish the quilt!
Ashley Still says
I am loving log cabin quilt patterns! But I find myself I usually quilt with squares (sometimes half squares) but either way I should start trying out new patterns that don’t involve my typical square cutting block haha. Fear of the unknown I guess! Just started quilting two years ago and since then I am addicted, and have boughten a serger and new sewing machine! ?
Debbie Cowan says
I love pinwheel blocks. They can be so cheery.
Kim says
I’m very new to quilting so I would love to join in on a stitch along… my mother made me a double wedding ring quilt years ago and it’s beautiful!
I have done a few jelly roll quilts..
Ginny Mills says
I guess my favorite “would be block would be the log cabin. I enjoy being able to change that up in 2 different looks.
Katja Seipel-Büttenbender says
So beautiful and yet so simple. The quilting fit perfect. I like Log Cabin (I did a whole quilt with that kind of blocks ) but also designs like flying geese, Courthouse Steps or Lady of the Lake. I like clear, straight designs and the “normal” quilt I make, usualy covers a bed.
Theresa Fischer says
My favorite quilt is a mystery quilt. I’m never quite sure how its going to turn out but I always learn something along the way
Karen Rose says
Favorite quilt block is log cabin. Particularly in vintage fabrics!

I’m working on a king size quilt made up of only flying geese. Hundreds of them I think. So my favorite block right now are HST because they go together much more quickly and make adorable baby quilts.
Eleanor McClendon says
I am not a very experienced quilter. I’m in the middle of making my first Bargello quilt, only my 2nd quilt. So far, it’s my favorite! I think your quilt is beautiful! I would love to make it.
Alyssa says
I love a good log cabin block, it’s the only design my mother and grandmother would ever use! I wish I could make infinite throw quilts to keep for myself, but I’ve already run out of room!
Josie Hegarty says
I was introduced to quilting by a dear friend the winter after her spouse passed. She wasn’t ready to quilt again but was a perfect mentor to me as she guided me in my first project, my wedding quilt. That time was spent teaching me and sharing stories of her late husband. Quilting will always be a way for me to connect to that hard and precious time in our lives. I love quilting blankets to snuggle up in as that was my mentor’s passion as well.
Trina Loehndorf says
I love the Card Trick pattern. Recently completed one on yellow and grays and it turned out very crisp and clean looking.
Marla McLaren says
Churn dash is my current favorite quilt block. I just finished a simple black and cream churn dash quilt that turned out quite well. Looking forward to starting the nine patch sew along.
Anita Kail says
I love star blocks. I am sill learning to make them well. I am participating in you BOM and hope that this will hone some of my piecing skills. Being fairly new to quilting, I like all kinds of projects.
Elberta Schmidt says
It’s hard to choose a favorite quilt block. Right now I’m working on a squash blossom that I love. I also really like star quilts. The Square Dance quilt along sounds so fun!
Karen Scheuermann says
I have been playing with paper piecing. My favorite block is the double wedding ring. I have never made one yet.
Love your color choices!
Kelly D says
I like makng blocks with simple patchwork or half square triangles. I also like piecing with strips.
Paula LaCroix says
Sheri, I love quilt alongs! It’s so much fun to see everyone’s progress along the way. I don’t really have a favorite block, I love them all. That’s probably why I have so much UFO’s! Can’t wait to join in the Square Dance quilt along.
Debbie Jeter says
I started quilting 5 years ago when I retired from teaching. I soon found your blog and videos. You have basically taught me to quilt. I really like star blocks, but those points can be tricky. My favorite block is probably the churn dash. To be honest, I like most any block if I can learn the trick to make it look good. I like sampler quilts because you get to do several types of blocks and I enjoy the variety.

Lynn says
Give me a patter with a star in it and I’m hooked!
Karen Addleman says
I really like most any type of star block. And my favorite kind of quilt is scrappy. I am on a mission to use my stash. Almost all the projects I have made since the pandemic started have come from my stash.
Michele Lancaster says
I like to make star blocks – Ohio stars especially
Abigail Huggins says
Hi Sherri, Recently retired and found you on You Tube. I’ve created a craft room. I’ve received my Happy Day Pattern bundle and fabric. My first project is the Beach House Row quilt, because I see it in all your videos and just love it!
For my favorite Block, I’d have to say for now are the tumblers. I really like the projects you made with them. The table runner and the bag, a must!
Thank you for all you do.
Cheryl NacZkenzie says
I love the courthouse steps quilt block and the carpenters star block. Projects I like to make are table runners, baby quilts and these mods blockheads quilts!!

Janet Ward says
Hi Sherri, I love your Blog… I’ve been following it for about 3 years now, and so far it’s my favorite. I’m in love with your quilt & patterns… Your cloth is scrumptious! Especially Balboa, with that splash of purple!! I would love this quilt kit to make!! This is right up my alley… I love lado quilt, twin size & baby quilt but now I want to make a King for my bed.
My favorite Block is the altered Round Log Cabin! I had a great time making a snowman table runner out of that pattern. Also there Churn Dash and Half Square block… mainly Nine Blocks. The flying Geese are an all time favored block because they are so very versatile. I have been getting three blocks for three Labor of Love Quilt, but I get so confused when they come out & where to find them… and… I love that quilt so much!!! I want it on my bed in Balboa!!! I fear not being able to find all the patterns for three blocks, & there layout, please tell me there is one place I can go to find them all!! Thank you for this awesome opportunity to chat and possibly get this great kit for Swuare Dancing… and for your get letters, You Tube casts and need letters! Love them all!???

I am so new to quilting that I do not have a favorite quilt block, yet. My first quilt quilt was, of all things, a tshirt quilt. I made this quilt for my cousin whose parents are no longer living. I am currently working on a scrappy quilt. My mother in law allowed me to go through her years of scraps. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Carol miller says
Love this quilt. Just started my first big quilt. Building blocks design. Have made several wall quilts. Love your blog. I’d attach a picture, but don’t see how?
Christine says
I joined the scrappy quilt along last year and it was awesome…very excited about doing this as a scrappy or…a winning gift. Ha!
Jeanne Carver says
Although my favorite quilt block is the Dresden plate I have yet to try making one. I need to one of these days
Missy Reynolds says
My favorite quilt block is Swoon by Camille Roskelley. I absolutely love making kids quilts. Before I retired, I made them for all the nurses I worked with in PICU that had babies. Now I donate them for the patients!! I also love making any quilt that uses up scraps even though they never seem to make a dent!
Judi Whiddon says
My favorite block is the nine patch. This versatile block can be the main block used in the quilt center or be incorporated into other units that make up a completely different block design. I love projects that can lend themselves to using scraps from my stash.
Terri H says
I love nine-patch and any type of star block. I’m starting to get into scrappy quilting and am enjoying it. Just starting listening to your podcast with Chelsi – so good!
Bobbie Z. says
I love the Half Square Triangle and all the opportunities it offers. Thanks for the opportunity of the giveaway.

The log cabin block is one of my favorite. Your quilt is just beautiful and it is so nice of you and moda to offer this giveaway. I am so excited for your new fabric line to come out. It is so beautiful..
Mary Skolasky says
My favorite quilt block is the Churn Dash. Looking forward to the APQ quilt-along.
Deanna Wheaton says
Hi Sherri, my favorite block is the pinwheel. I was so excited to see it as this months block in your Mystery Quilt Along. I’m considering using it for an entire quilt as I think the secondary pattern would make for a fun and cheery look. Thanks for the inspiration!
Kim Strickler says
Congratulations on another beautifully designed quilt. It’s simply gorgeous! I really don’t have a favorite quilt block. I love all quilts and fabrics. Although, my favorite part about making quilts is giving them away and seeing someone smile.
Lori Morton says
My favorite block is the Churn Dash…loooove you quilt!! attern looks Awesome !! Thanks for chance to win your give-a-way!!
Mary Smith says
I’m definitely a scrappy quilter and if a quilt pattern has an Ohio Star in the layout, I know my finished quilt will be spectacular! I do love the clean, straight lines of your block and quilt.
Alice says
I love so many quilt blocks oak always amazed by the beautiful quilts, fabrics, and layouts. I love the sister’s choice block. My sister is so dear to my heart. She introduced me to quilting. She is my baby sister.
Erika Williams says
Nine patch! Simple but versatile.
Lynn Brachtl says
I love so many blocks, a star block a nine patch or nine patch variation. I love this quilt ant the seaside quilt. I am looking forward to this fabric line
Thank you
Rita says
Beautiful quilt!
My favorite block is a sawtooth star with a fussy cut center.
Ann English says
My favorite quilt block is log cabin, so versitale and fun! But this quilt looks super fun to make and is so pretty.
Aretta Pierson says
I’m a relatively new quilter but so far I’d say my favorite technique is foundation paper piecing. And for a favorite type of project I simply love sampler quilts, they are a festival for our eyes with such a variety of block designs — and making each block expands my quilting skills! 🙂
