My Mystery Block Wednesday is very easy this summer with a very wonderful theme! We'll be chatting about our favorite things on Main Street. Many of you told me you don't have a town, but I bet there is a place, like a plaza or a shop, that everyone gathered. Maybe the local roller rink, or grocery store is where you see your neighbors and catch up on things. That is what we'll celebrate this summer!
THE DOWNLOAD is at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading
In each pattern I have a memory or story of my own. When You share your block at my Facebook group, or when you leave me a comment after posting your block, share YOUR memory with me!
The local 5 & 10 starts off our Main Street Adventures, I can't wait to hear about Main street!
PLEASE READ INFO:
- Blocks are ALL 12.5" for this project
- At the end of ALL my Block Wednesday sew alongs I give you a BONUS layout using multiples of the block.
- 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 beloe
TIP:
- Some weeks I'll have a tip. The units for this block are interchangeable. So you can decide placement before you sew.
- Make the Half Square Triangle Unit first
- Layout out the blocks until you have them the way you like them. These are 2 options for my General Store quilt

- 2 yds Roses & dots to use as a full border. The quilt layout will not have a solid border but I will put a solid border on this one as I love this dot and rose print! - pick the shade you love. OR wait and see the border option. This fabric will go quickly
