It's the first week of February so it's time to piece a new block for the Building Blocks Quilt Along! This month we're working on a fun nine patch block:
Click here to watch the video on Piecing a Nine Patch.For this block, we're also going to learn two extra
piecing techniques: strip piecing and chain piecing. These techniques can definitely save you time cutting and piecing fabric, but care must be taken not to stretch the long strips as you piece them together.
Wondering if you can still join the Building Blocks Quilt Along? It's definitely not too late to jump into this project and start learning with us!
To get started, all you need is a copy of the Building Blocks Quilt Pattern which contains all the
piecing information plus full size quilt guides for all 42 blocks we'll be making together.
Josh is taking a break this week from quilting, but he still shared a post this Tuesday on one of our favorite family recipes. We hope you love this amazing spaghetti and meat sauce recipe as much as we do!
Also posted to the project last week was a brand new design also inspired by food:
This design was inspired by broken eggs and I was trying to capture the runny yoke and white swirling around cracked egg shells. In the end, I see sunshines in this design, so I'll definitely be playing with this texture some more to come up with even more
interesting designs! Click here to watch the video now.
