*** My Blocks ***
FIRST.. Be sure you entered my giveaway over at https://blog.patsloan.com/2019/10/fireside-chat-with-pata-few-qa-today.html
Have you ever made just one block from a pattern to see how you like it? That is what I'm doing with the Perfect 5 book. The Fat Quarter shop has a whole sampler you can make, I'm going to do a smaller version as I'm making just one of each of the 16 quilts.. so far I have 2 favorites that I will be making full quilts from.
- The little block is Gingersnaps. I'm on a quest now to taste test gingersnap cookies.. do you happen to have a great recipe?
- Larger block is Biscotti, I shared my favorite Biscotti recipe HERE
- Below is a tip, all the blocks together, and share your blocks at the end!
- I'm making one of each block from the bonus sampler that goes along with the Perfect 5 book. The sampler sheet & photo are at the end.
- I'm using a Pepper & Flax Jolly bar cut in half
- and the background is my charcoal from Bonnie Lane Fabric
*** TIP ***
- The version on the left is how the pattern is written. I decided to switch out the center for one of the squares in the charm pack!
- The ruler markings for the Perfect 5 ruler are really wonderful!
- Perfect 5 Book
- Perfect 5 Ruler
- Pepper & Flax Jolly bar
- Bonnie Lane Fabric
- GREAT charm packs, many on sale!

*** Oct 9 to Dec 4- Perfect 5 Sew Along ***
The 'Perfect 5' is a wonderful new book with 16 quilt patterns that use charm packs... thus the '5'! Charm packs are 5" squares. I love how my blocks are coming together
- All the quilts named a cookie, you had me at this one!
- 4 quilt patterns using just 1 charm pack... perfect right? For that 'one pack' you bought.
- 4 that use 2 packs - this is the same as a jolly bar
- 4 using 3 charm packs
- and 4 quilt patterns using 4 charm packs, which is the same as a layer cake!
Details:
- From Oct 9 to Dec 4 I'm sewing along using the quilt blocks in the book to do a version of the Sampler above that the Fat Quarter Shop is doing
- Once a week you'll make the assigned number of blocks for the sampler.
