Our last block ...woohoo! Block 12 of Going on a Picnic
AND after the download is the details on our NEXT Block Wednesday Cozy Things as I know you want to sew along on that
Block #12 - Water Works!
Do you have a 'Water element' on your picnics? A lake, creek (do you say creek or crick?), stream, river, ocean, pool or maybe just a sprinkler? I'm a HUGE fan of sprinklers!
Tip: watch the video to see how my block is pressed
You will not use all of the fabric the bundle it is a working bundle and you can pick lights and darks from anything in it because there's plenty of fabric
I used the background for this block but you can use any fabrics. You don't have to do it exactly like mine, make it your own watch my video for other power options you might like
Our Next Block Wednesday Sew Along Theme is 'Cozy Things'... it's going to be a super fun 9 block quilt
***Cozy Things Mystery Sew Along Details***
This sew along theme is inspired by all things 'Cozy'. I have some fun ideas that will bring us into fall and winter, when we can all use some coziness!
DETAILS:
RUNS: October 14, 2020 to December 16, 2020
Blocks: 9 blocks, One new block a week. Finished block size 12" finished
SIZE: Lap size - DOWNLOAD the Supply list WITH layout below
Type of Blocks: Pieced
TIMING: Wednesday around 7:30am EST. Email notice goes out noon-ish in my time zone, EST. The email is NEVER when the block is published.
Quilt Photo Sharing: Share at my Facebook community or at the end of each article. You can share your fabric down below! I am using the same photo share for all the Block Wednesday.
FAQ:
How many squares are in a layer cake? 42 squares 10" x 10". READ CAREFULLY as some companies sell 'petite' layer cakes with only 20 squares
Can I use a Fat Quarter Bundle I don't have a layer cake? - Yes! A fat quarter is 18" x 20" .. a Layer Cake is 10" x 10"
Can I use Stash (fabric I own) I don't have a layer cake? - Yes! Pull out a bundle of beautiful fabric
Do I need the extra fabrics? yes you need some of it. There are setting squares (download the supply list /layout pattern below). Some of the extra fabric is for the setting squares. Some is to add to blocks since layers cakes don't have variety. This will give me a common fabric in the blocks
Will I use all the fabric - Not all of it. With a layer cake you will use up some squares completely but some you might not use. And the extra fabrics won't be entirely used up.
Can you show me the blocks in advance? No, it's a mystery
What are the Technique? - All Easy Pieced. Each block will be named and a story/memory about something cozy
NOTE: The Block does NOT LOOK like the topic of the week. This is not a pictorial quilt. I do a topic as it is way more fun than just plopping out a block. I love the memories and sometimes research that goes into the topic. That keeps my Sew alongs fun and unique.
***Fabric Options***
As you see on the supply list below, I'm using a LAYER CAKE + extra fabric. You will have some left over.
If you want a fabric border buy for that, it is NOT part of the pattern but you may want to get it now as fabric may not be available later
I'm going to sew with Snow Sweet, see the very end after the supply list download for my bundle.
