Introducing the 2018 Sew Sampler Barn Block Quilt Along!

1 Comment

We are so excited to introduce our Series 3 Sew Sampler Quilt Along featuring stunning 12” finished Barn Blocks in an elegant, monochromatic color scheme! The block patterns will be included in Sew Sampler Boxes from April 2018 – March 2019. If you are not a Sew Sampler member but would like to participate, you can purchase the Barn Block Recipe patterns each month on our website separately.

We were inspired to create a classic, monochromatic quilt this year. What is more elegant than black and white? We took it a step further and made it easy for you to make a quilt just like ours by providing you with an exclusive Barn Block Quilt Kit and Barn Block Thread Set so you can sew along with us. Also, be sure to pick up 3.625 yards of backing fabric. We suggest this 108″ Wide Buffalo Check but have a limited amount in stock so order soon.

If you want to change it up a bit, below is what you will need.

We hope you will join us as we travel the countryside and make twelve unique and inspiring Barn Blocks!

Classic & Vintage: Wild Geese Straight Furrows

3 Comments

Happy Friday Quilters! We are back with another pattern in our Classic & Vintage series: Wild Geese Straight Furrows! For those who are unfamiliar with our Classic & Vintage series, we focus on traditional quilt blocks and add a modern twist!

The Wild Geese Straight Furrows Quilt is a gorgeous vintage pattern that gives off a simple classic look and, combined with the all the other blocks, makes a great quilt! Kimberly made her Wild Geese Straight Furrows quilt using Jardin de Versailles by French General for Moda Fabrics. The hardest part of this quilt is the half square triangles, for which Kimberly used the 2″ Half Square Triangle Paper from Triangles on a Roll!

The complete Wild Geese Straight Furrows pattern  with four different size options is available for purchase at fatquartershop.com. To make a quilt just like ours, we have a Wild Geese Straight Furrows quilt kit and separate backing set available!

If you’re ready to sew along with us, grab  your supplies, download your FREE block pattern and watch Kimberly’s video tutorial for a step-by-step guide on making your block!

 

We are very fortunate to have 14 amazing bloggers quilting along with us! Check out their takes on the Wild Geese Straight Furrows blocks:
