I'm in love with the fabric kit we have for Winter Wonderland's books cover quilt, the Sleigh Bell Sampler!
At the end I've included the sew along information on Witches night out and Summer Celebrate the Seasons
When you come in from a building snowmen, sledding, ice skating, or taking a brisk winter walk, Block #3 is a steaming cup of warm that is waiting for you. I have a few tips for making this block below.
The Fat Quarter shop and I created a great kit for this quilt with a super darling fabric line.
**** ON SHARING PHOTOS at the end- I've combined the Winter Wonderland and Witch's Night out in the same as many of you are doing both! If you are on Facebook share in my group. If you are on Instagram let's use #PatSloanSleighbell

TIPS:
- The book stand works perfectly to take the pieces from the kit and lay them out before cutting. I just drape them on the stand, saves table space too!
- There are several sew and flips for this block. I place the squares in position to keep track of them
TIPS:
- For all my sew and flip I use the built in guide beam on my Babylock Solaris. My favorite option!
- I also sew from the SIDE, never the CORNER. If I were to sew from the corner to the side the probability of that tiny corner getting sucked into the feed dogs is high. When I start on the side that doesn't happen
TIPS:
- Check placement before sewing! Check your sew and flip BEFORE trimming. If it does not meet, then you didn't sew exactly
- you can see on the 2nd photo that the line is a bit off. With these tiny pieces you really need to be accurate.
Check your sizes before sewing. they should be the same width. If not fix it.
It won't magically be correct after you sew if it's starting out wrong.
I did my embroidery with Aurifil 12 wt thread
