Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabric for March… the Economy Block

I’ve been counting the days until I could share this month’s Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabrics tutorial and giveaway with you! All because of the fabric Blend sent for us to use this month… the delightful collection ‘The Makers’ from Cori Dantini. It includes several panel prints with lovely ‘Makers’ sewing, knitting, and painting. They are so pretty and cinderella-ish. And the block that I chose for us to make this month – the Economy Block – is perfect for using fussy cut squares from your favorite fabrics.

Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabric for December… the Bear Paw

Welcome December! It’s probably my favorite month. So I picked one of my favorite quilt blocks for this month’s Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabric post, the Bear Paw. I decided to make a mini quilt using nine 3” blocks. I picked some lovely blue and orange prints from the Turkish Delight Collection by Josephine Kimberling for Blend Fabrics.

Easy Quilt Block Tutorial: Nine Patch and Snowball Blocks together!

We’re spending a year making gorgeous quilt blocks using the classic patterns and fresh modern fabrics from Anna Griffin and Blend Fabrics! Last month we made the Dutchman’s Puzzle Block and before that the Churn Dash Block and the Friendship Star. This month I’m so excited to make two blocks and put them together: the Nine Patch and the Snowball blocks! As we go along you can search for ‘classic’ in the search box above to access all of the posts.
