Sewcialites Block 11 - Cheer by Me & My Sister Designs

We’re celebrating our quilting community with a free block of the week quilt along called the Sewcialites Quilt Along. We’ve joined forces with 18 talented designers to bring you a free 38-week quilt along with amazing sampler blocks and sew many options! If you’re just joining us, you can find all of the details over on the Sewcialites Landing Page. We’re sewing up block #11 this week!

This week’s designers are Barb and Mary! The duo is responsible for all the lovely collections by Me & My Sister Designs for Moda Fabrics. The Cheer block they designed is an easy block that will sew up quick. This one is a welcome reprieve from some of the more challenging blocks, but it looks just as impressive. You can sew along with Kimberly in today’s video tutorial on YouTube for some tips on putting it together.
