Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Seven!!

Hello there! 

Welcome back to my blog:)

It's week seven 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!

As I told you last week...

I have three 6" blocks for you today!

I have 30 - 6" blocks and only

 20 - 12" blocks to make for my quilt

 so I thought that I would 

just do 6" blocks this week.

This week I worked 

from one of my books only...

all three blocks 

are from Farm Girl Vintage 2...

and here's why!

Okay... 

so remember that we have 

already made my 6" Starry Nights Block

 that you see on the 

right in my photo above?

Well then you also know 

that there is cutting for a

 12" block as well.

That 12" Block cutting 

consists of 4 - 6" blocks.

so...what I did was cut just one 

of the stars from the 12" block

cutting measurements

and sew it up.

Now I have a 6" block

 which consists of just one star:)

Cute!

Starry Nights is on page 126

Now that you've heard my explanation

and have seen the 

3 blocks for this week...

Are you starting to 

sense a theme going on here?

Yep!

I did the same thing 

for the other two 

6" blocks for this week.

We already made the 

6" Quilting Day Block

from page 112.

Again...

I used the 12" cutting measurements

from that Quilting Day Block 

 and only cut and sewed one 

 6" Churn Dash Block:)

 

And last week we made the 6" 

Cross Stitch Block from page 37....

which consists of four cross stitch's.

This week I made a 6" Cross Stitch Block...

and yes...you guessed it!

I used the 12" Block cutting 

and only cut one cross stitch.

It was really fun to make 

3 new 6" blocks that you 

might not otherwise have known

 were in the book:)

There are actually several blocks

 in my Farm Girl Vintage 2 book

 that we could do this with

 and I plan on doing more!

I hope that you will have fun

 sewing your three 6" Red Sampler Blocks

 for this week.

I'm still really having a good time 

seeing all of your blocks on 

Instagram

I'm leaving you 

with a few photos from 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 

photo shoot at my house.

We took this one of the sampler

displayed on my backyard deck:)

This is one of my favorites 

because it shows all of the 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Blocks 

hanging on the clothesline!

This is the Beekeepers Garden...

And this is October Skies:)

Both are made using the same 

quilt setting as the sampler quilt

 in the book and it happens to be 

the same exact setting that I am using

 for my Red Sampler Quilt!

I want to show you this picture

 from the doll quilt section

 of the book because these are 

the doll quilts made with 

three of the blocks from this week

 (and the other blocks in the book)

 that have little 3" finished blocks

 when you use the 6" block cutting measurements:)

I show my doll quilts and 

talk about them more on one of my 

recent tutorials on my 

YouTube Channel
