“Sew, Let’s Quilt Along” Block 6 Release!

Welcome to Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along! During this segment, running from today May 21st through July 15th, blocks 6 through 9 will be released for a total of four blocks.

I’m happy to announce the release of the first block of Segment, Block 6  “Wonder Clips”, designed by Jennifer Fulton of The Inquiring Quilter. This is a fun pieced 12″ x 12″  pattern with step by step instructions. Aren’t wonder clips wonderful?! No pins :)
Visit her blog to read the tutorial and download your free pattern!

12″ x 12″ Wonder Clip Block by Jennifer Fulton

My Tips:

• Be careful when sewing the half clips on either end of the block, it is easy to get them reversed.

• 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.

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

• Enjoy and have fun!

Visit the Segment 2 hosts to see this block in a variety of fabric and color inspirations. Hosts also provide their own tips to sewing the block, as well as answer any questions you have.
