Designer Sampler: Block #6



We're celebrating National Quilting Month with a Sampler Quilt created using blocks by many of our fabric designers. Throughout the month, we'll share a block made by each of the designers listed below and featuring their newest fabric line, along with directions to sew that block. Come sew with us!

Make the Block
1. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (1) 4-1/4" Snowflake Spree Rose square. Place it right sides together on (1) 4-1/4" Featherly Paisley Forest square. Stitch 1/4" on both sides of the drawn line, cut on the line, and press HST units open. 

2. In the same way, make HST units using 4-1/4" Snowflake Spree Mint and Playful Flakes Purple squares.
3. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (1) Mint/Purple HST, perpendicular to the seam. Position it right sides together on (1) Rose/Forest HST, aligning the green sides. Stitch 1/4" on both sides of the drawn line, cut on the lines, and press units open. You'll make the mirror image units shown below. Square to measure 3-1/2" square. Make a total of (8) QST units (4 will be mirror image). 

4. Sew a QST and a mirror image QST together as shown. Make (4) pieced units. 
5. Sew pieced units to opposite sides of the 6-1/2" Playful Cats square, noting orientation. Sew 3-1/2" Snowflake Spree Mint squares to opposite sides of the remaining pieced units and then sew to the top and bottom of the center section to complete the block.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
