Fall Sale Begins and Mini Block Monday Ends

Published: Thu, 10/01/20

Hi ,

This will be our last Mini Block in the Mini Block Monday series, finishing off at a total of thirty Mini Block tutorials. Click Here to check out everything in this series. I hope you've enjoyed building new piecing skills while piecing these fun little blocks!

Make a Duck and Ducklings Block - Mini Block Monday #30 - LAST ONE!

Duck and Ducklings is another fun quilt block I mentioned in the book Mally the Maker and the Queen in the Quilt. I imagined one of these blocks would create a big mama duck and four ducklings.

I hope you have enjoyed piecing these 30 mini 3-inch quilt blocks with me. Like all my other quilt alongs, these posts and videos will remain online indefinitely. You can join in the fun and piece a batch of mini blocks anytime you like.

Of course, it really helps me out when you share these posts and videos with your quilting friends. If you enjoyed this quilting series, please spread the word about it.

Fantastic Fall Festival

Speaking of QCT, I'm using this software to help me quilt a beautiful Autumn Basket Weave Quilt Panel during Grace Company's Fantastic Fall Festival! This online quilt show will feature daily videos, giveaways, fun prizes, and beautiful quilts.
