Welcome back for week 21 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 fanciful Dreamy Block by Sherri McConnell!
Dreamy by Sherri McConnell
This week’s designer is the pattern designer behind A Quilting Life and half of the mother/daughter fabric designing duo, Sherri McConnell. This week, she brought us the intermediate-level Dreamy Block, made with a handful of half square triangles and some creative piecing! You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Dreamy Block on Friday, July 17th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.
Sherri is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with her Strawberry Lemonade collection for Moda Fabrics.
