ahh.. the movies!! Every Main street needs a movie theater. If it's not right in the heart of your town I bet it's very close by.. maybe one street over.
Going to the movies create so many memories. Your first movie, your first date night, girls night out, a movie that touched your heart, or one that you saw a zillion times.
When we travel we LOVE finding old theaters and taking photos. This one is in Maumee Ohio (what gave it away?) When you share you block this week tell me a movie memory, I can't wait to hear!

PLEASE READ INFO:
- Blocks are ALL 12.5" for this project
- The quilt uses JUST ONE BLOCK, but each week I give you a BONUS layout using MULTIPLE Of the blocks for you to make a BONUS project.
- For this sew along I'm using making two of the same quilt with different fabrics, much like I did for Christmas Fig. Fabrics I'm using are below
TIP of the week:
If you are struggling with getting to your sewing, stop and look at your environment. I find if I can't easily get to my project to sew I'm not motivated. So what is going on? Is your area un-organized, so you can't find things? Is there no place to actually work without moving things first? THAT means it's a struggle to sew. Which means you avoid working on the project.
- When I finish up projects, or get a lot of stuff in at once, I don't always put items in the best spot. So I'm resorting my current project bins right now because they are not efficient. Case in point, I currently have BOTH fabric lines for this sew along in this one basket. The basket is SO full and it's hard to use. Hard to use = not fun. So I need to either put in a larger basket or in two baskets. I'm voting large one but it's a lot of fabric so it might end up being 2 bins.
- This bin goes on the white tower unit behind my sewing machine. I should only have projects in there that are current. But right now that is not the case. So those all need reviewed and what's in them put in less 'prime' storage spots.
- So if you find yourself with poor organization choices, stop and fix it.
TIP:
- My block on the left in Cheeky fabric has low contrast. If you want higher contrast change either the outer plaid to a darker blue, or change the white/blue print to more of a tonal. That is what I did with the block on the right done in country store fabric
