Sewcialites 3 Block 6 - Window Seat by Brigitte Heitland

Welcome back for week 6 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 refreshing Window Seat Block by Brigitte Heitland!

Window Seat Block by Brigitte Heitland

This week’s designer, Brigitte Heitland, is an experienced modern quilter and the designer behind Zen Chic for Moda Fabrics. This week, she brought us the intermediate-level Window Seat Block. Made with a Square in a Square unit and simple assembly, this block is a window to new design possibilities. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Window Seat Block on Friday, March 27th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.

Window Seat Block Pattern and Recommended Paper:

Take a look at the Window Seat 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.
