Do you find you get more done during a Sew Along? I know I do! Sew along with us to make My Hometown Charm! with a unit every other week, and we are now on Unit #3! It's so motivating to know that we are sewing as a club.. fun fun fun!
I am working us roughly across a row. We did the Orange peel block first, which was multiple blocks.
Next we did the Churn Dash Star, a nice fun .. BIG block!
Onto the Baskets! There are 3 of them.
You can sew ahead, i know sometimes we get on a roll.. that's awesome if you do!
My Sew Alongs are designed to let you step out of your busy life, pick a section of a quilt and accomplish JUST that one piece. It's a GREAT feeling to select just a single unit to make with no expectation that more HAS to be done right now.
I have a long love affair with baskets. Basket blocks in quilts and real baskets to use. I don't know.. maybe because i love to store thing, or admire beautifully handcrafted baskets... whatever it is, I can't get enough of them! Youk will find this block goes together very qucikly!
TIP - if you are using a directional print, like my words, i lay out ALL the pieces before sewing. That way I know they are going the correct direction. Then I carefully pick them up to sew.
