Charity block #5, a FREE pattern & a darling project i just ordered!

Block #5 in the Charity quilt along! I am sew along with my friends at The Fat Quarter shop and Moda fabrics.

 

The project supports St. Judes, which does amazing work for children.

There are six big blocks like mine above, and six smaller versions too in the original quilt. 

All 5 of my big blocks!  The fabrics I'm using are

• Kate Spain's 'Voyage Fabric' 
• paired it with Bella Bluebell Solid

I am just making the large blocks. I have drafted the setting and will share it with you. My quilt will also be auctioned to support St. Judes! 

Block #5 is Pineapple's Puzzle.. and the videos by Fat Quarter Shop shows you how to make it.

Most importantly, we are benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with this year’s quilt along. We are asking for a small donation in exchange for downloading each month’s pattern, and together Fat Quarter Shop and Moda will match up to $20,000 of your donation

•  DOWNLOAD the pattern at the shops blog

• I hope you'll sew along with me, if you are, share a photo of your block below!!

Two fun things! My Barn quilt and a block for the Alphabet quilt. I'm debating on the barns.. let me know what you think! ... 

I am going to use this fabric by my friend Joanna of FigTree for my Barn quilt!

You get the block in your Sew Sampler, but you can also buy just the pattern.

• Sew Sampler Subscription
• Barn Quilt Block
• Fabric I'm Using

Are you going to sew along? Tell me in the comments!

The Fat Quarter shop is using Black, white and gray.

It's striking!  

THE IMAGE ABOVE is the main supply list.

• Black & White Kit
• Background I'm using to go with the Figtree line
• Fabric I'm using

I'm debating on this... I might make all the houses that strawberry color, then use the green, yellow, aqua for the block on the inside that changes.

Or.. should each barn be different?  Oh the decisions!

• Unicorn Scissors
• Aurifil Thread

The video is great to help you make your block!
