Have you been hanging by a thread waiting for the reveal of mystery Block 4 of the Sew, Let’s Quilt Along?!!

Today Bobbi Bridgeman of Snowy Days Quilting brings you two! thread spool patterns she designed for your choosing, “Thread Tales” and “Spinning Spools.” Visit her blog to download her free patterns and view her tutorial post.

I chose to make “Thread Tales,” a fun assortment of threads on shelves.

Thread spools quilt block — “Thread Tales” 12” x 12” quilt block by Bobbi Bridgeman

My Tips:

- I always review a pattern completely before cutting. It helps me know what techniques will be used and get a feeling of how the pieces go together.

- This block requires precision. Check your 1/4” seams for continuity as you go along.

- Starch! Stiffer fabric keeps smaller pieces from stretching out of shape.

- Follow Bobbi’s step by step patterns and you will succeed!

I’m excited to use this block is a small project I have in mind for it. Small project host’s will show you their creations for your inspiration when the fifth and last block of this segment is released, May 7th. If you prefer you can save your blocks to make a quilt top. There are also several hosts who will be using all thirteen blocks to make a quilt and provide your with setting suggestions at the end of the QAL.

Visit the hosts to see this block in a variety of fabric and color inspirations. Host’s also provide their own tips to sewing this block, as well as answer any questions you have and encourage you!
