Sewcialites Quilt Along: Free Block of the Week (Block 7)
Welcome to your daily dose of the Sewcialites Quilt Along by Fat Quarter Shop. Daily for now, anyhow–I’m catching up on my blocks for the quilt along and will be posting one block every day until I’m caught up. (Friday is still reserved for the week’s new release.) Block 7 is “Kindred” by Bonnie Olaveson of Cotton Way.
Sewcialites Quilt Along Block 7
Fabric + Layout
Block 7 is a cool one. I’m collecting 40 sampler blocks for my quilt layout and I’m grouping the blocks by color. There will be 10 red blocks + 12 green blocks + 16 grey blocks + 2 low volume blocks. Block 7 is going in the green pile. I’ve picked a lighter grey for the background color for a fun contrast but the block still reads dominantly green overall. Fabric is my Christmas Morning collection Moda.
