Hello and happy Friday! I’m glad you’ve stopped by for the Sunday Best Quilts Sampler Block 7. Today’s quilt block is a fun one that you’ll want to make again and again! The block comes from Corey’s Gladdening quilt which was her quilt for our Christmas quilt category. The original Gladdening quilt features fabrics from Kate & Birdie for Moda Fabrics and also has a fun scrappy binding.
Gladdening
I just love all of the photography from our Sunday Best Quilts book, so it’s a lot of fun to share the professional photos of the quilts each week in our sew along posts.
My Gladdening Block Details
Gladdening is a really fun block to make. With simple strip-piecing accented by the corner pinwheels, it’s as cute as it is fast. I decided to go scrappy with the center strips and squares but use just one fabric for my pinwheels to add some continuity. You can find out how I make half-square triangles here, and you can see the specific Harper’s Garden fabrics I used below:
- For the Corner Pinwheels: Geranium Vintage
- Square One (top): Geranium Roses
- Strip One: Coral Wispy
- Strip Two: Lime Diamonds
- Middle Strip: Aqua Blooms
- Strip Four: Taupe Criss Cross
- Strip Five: Coral Wispy
- Square Two (bottom): Navy Mosaic
