Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Four!!

 

Hello Red Sampler folks and happy Monday!

Welcome to week four in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

I have three more blocks for you!

This week I worked 

from three of my books...

For the 12" Block I made my 

Great Granny Block on page 5 

of my book Great Granny Squared.

I added my Bee Backgrounds Honeycomb 

print into this block along with

my Bee Cross Stitch Background. 

I also used my Flea Market 

Basketweave print for the medium tone

 which I'll be using a lot 

of as well!

I used my 12 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

 for my Great Granny Block:)

12" Great Granny Block

I made my 6" Vintage Pinwheel Block 

from page 105

from my book Vintage Christmas.

This block is sew 

easy peasy and fun to make...

you simply need two red prints

 that have good contrast from each other:)

I used two reds from my stash 

and my Bee Backgrounds "Diamonds" print.

6" Vintage Pinwheel Block

I used my Farm Girl Vintage Book 

to make the other 6" block.

It's called Churn Dash 

and it's on page 19.

This version uses a print for the 

center square instead of the background.

I used my Chicken Tracks 

background and 3 reds ...

all are from my 

Farm Girl Vintage fabric collection.

You may find my 

Quick Dash video

on my YouTube Channel

 helpful when making this block:)

6" Churn Dash Block

I hope that you will have fun

 sewing your blocks this week...

as for me...I'm having a blast:)

So far I have made four 

12" Red Sampler Blocks...

And eight - 6" Red Sampler Blocks

I'm enjoying using 

red prints from my stash...

and shopping for a few more to add

to my collection!

And it's always fun for me 

to sew from my books again and again.

Because I made the 

Great Granny Block for this week...

I thought that you might want to

 see a few photos of my 

Great Granny Quilt from the book.

It's made from 

20 - 12" Great Granny Blocks 

So of course it's just another 

setting option for you 

if you would want to make 12" blocks only.

 

Now if you are one of those

 that I have heard from over the years 

who are completely addicted

 to making my 6" blocks...

you could always use this setting

 from my first Farm Girl Vintage book.

This quilt setting has 48 - 6" blocks:)

Well that's it for today folks!

I've shown you all of my blocks again...

now it's time for you to show me yours!

Go ahead and use the hashtag

I'll meet you right back here 

next week with 3 more blocks!
