Sewcialites 3 Block 13 - Back Porch by Joanna Figueroa

Welcome back for week 13 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along as we celebrate our amazing quilting community! Each week, one of the 25 oh-sew-talented designers we’ve teamed up with is bringing you a new block pattern. This week, we’re excited to introduce the relaxing Back Porch Block by Joanna Figueroa!

Back Porch Block by Joanna Figueroa

This week’s designer is Joanna Figueroa, the creative force behind Fig Tree & Co. for Moda Fabrics. This week, she brought us the intermediate-level Back Porch Block. With five square-in-a-square units to make, this block will be much more approachable with the help of some foundation paper. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Back Porch Block on Friday, May 15th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.

Joanna is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with fabrics from her Rosie Collection for Moda Fabrics.

Shoo Fly Block Pattern and Recommended Paper:

Take a look at the Back Porch Block in all three size options, using different collections! Kimberly sewed the 6″ block using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics, Gina Tell (@gina_tell_threadgraffiti) made the 3″ block in Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics, and Pat Sloan (@quilterpatsloan) pieced her 9″ block with Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics.

Three of our Quilty Staffers are joining in and making the 9″ blocks using Blueprint by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics, American Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics, and In the Garden by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.
