September and October Progress & News

I travelled much of September - South Africa and more of the same coming up for the rest of October - Barcelona.  Not complaining but it is my excuse reason for not doing a progress report at the end of September.  Given that I'll be away now for the rest of October and won't be sewing during that (other than my usual travelling handwork) I thought I'd combine the two months.

Just One Block - FQ Friendly Free Quilt Pattern with Tute and Tips

Simple, Clean, Modern

Just One Block Quilt Pattern

(approx 71" x 71")

Just One Block is a large square quilt based on my original Kukulcan quilt block pattern. As the name suggests, the quilt comprises just one Block, with each block section mixed and matched to create 3 individual block patterns. You can style it up or down, adapting to suit adults or children, depending on your chosen fabrics. Adapting my original Kukulcan block' 12" finish, the Just One Block block 10-3/4" makes the quilt pattern Fat Quarter friendly. Simple techniques will appeal to beginner and more experienced quilters, and I'll walk you through each stage with diagrams, photo tutes and lots of mbCD tips.
