Autumn Love Sew Along - Week Three!!

Welcome to Week Three!

If you are just joining us...

CLICK HERE

for info on this sew along:)

We are working our way 

across section one of the

Autumn Love Quilt

Todays block tutorial is for the 

Bucket Block

And here are the 

Autumn Love prints 

that we are using today:)

You should have all of 

the fabric cut and these 

Sew Simple Shapes cut and traced:

2 - F-1

3 - F-5

2 - F-6

1 - F15

1 - F-18

3 - F-22

1 - F-33

Because this is week three..

y'all are now experts in the 

cutting-tracing-sewing-turning-shaping-pressing process! 

Also...

Just like I showed you last week

 for the Wagon Block...

we will modify the F-6 Shape for 

the 2 flowers in the exact same way.

Clip the 2 cleavage in those 

flowers and the star.

Clip the inner curves 

on the sides of the pumpkin stems.

The strip along the top of the bucket

 is 3/8" wide and 7 1/4" long.

Press each end under 1/4"

Both of the stems are cut on the bias 

and are 1/4" wide.

(from the BIAS strips you cut with that fabric on page 9 of your guide)

Press them into a slight curve 

and cut one 9" long and 

the other is 6" long.

*NOTE*

Use the 5/8" x 12" CUT ON THE BIAS strip that's in the cutting section 

of the bucket fabric for the handle. 

(page 6 of your guide)

Because it's cut 5/8" wide...

that means you run it through the

 1/4" bias tape maker.

(all bias width measurements

 are on page 14 of the guide) 

Curve it a lot when you are pressing it ...

just like I showed you

in the week one video.

Also remember to use a little 

spray starch on all of your strips

 before you run them 

through the bias tape makers...

it helps the strips

 to keep their shape nicely:)

As always...

use the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

 when laying out your block.

Pin each piece 

into place and glue baste.

After the glue dries...

Use the light box and 

trace the embroidery line 

using the pattern on 

page 17 of the guide. 

You can embroider it 

before or after applique:)

After applique...

Press from the back and trim 

your block down to 10 1/2" square

 BEFORE sewing it into the quilt:)

Flowers growing...

Upside down:)

Cute little Bucket Block!

Autumn Love photos on

Next week we will be making 

lots of stars ...
