The quilt is made with my fabric
collection called Mercantile:)
We are piecing all 25 blocks
and then turning them into a
12" circle to applique onto a
4-Patch Block background!
I detail all of the supplies
that you need to make the quilt in my
Bee Prepared post right here on my blog.
I have already posted the
post which not only details
all of the supplies needed but
explains how this sew along works.
I have also given the links there

Today we are making the
TOWN DAYS BLOCK
Here's mine all cut and ready to sew!
Cutting each block is super easy
because of the sew along guide
that is provided for you.
This block has four pinwheels
made with half square triangles
so let's start with the yellow one!
Use the two "C" squares and 2 "A" squares.
Mark a double line on the back of the "A"
We will be using the 2 1/4" Trim-It Ruler
for these half square triangles.
Cut them apart after
sewing on the double lines.
Now trim them down to
2 1/4" square using the ruler like this:)
Press seams open...
and then sew a pinwheel!
Use the 4" Trim-It Ruler to square it up.
Now make all of the other
half square triangles for the
remaining 3 pinwheels in the same way:)
Press seams open and use
the same two Trim-It Rulers.
Now it's time to sew our block together.
Lay it out on the design board like this...
READY-SET-SEW!
Back view of my block:)
Time to add the borders and make our circle!
Also piece the 4-Patch for the background.
Okay let's prepare it for applique:)
Line up the seams in the 4-Patch
with the center seam of block both ways.
Pin and glue paste:)
Now I can applique!
Once again...after applique
I'll trim it down to 14 1/2" square
using the 14 1/2" Trim-It Ruler.
*Continue to line up the seams
in the block
with the lines on the rulers that
go both ways...straight and diagonal
for easy peasy centering!
And now we have 13 blocks completed!
I hope that you will love
sewing YOUR thirteenth sampler block
for our sampler quilt...
and then turning it into a circle!
I'll meet you right back here
on my blog this Friday for the
Yard Goods Block tutorial...
