Hello friends! It’s time for Block 4 of our Super Bloom Block of the Month (BOM).

Let’s gather our supplies and get started!

No matter if you’re using your pre-cut kit or are cutting your own pieces, we will have “sew” much fun!

I absolutely love those little pre-cut kits! They make this beautiful project so easy.

Let’s start by making half square triangle units from blue and light Half Square Triangles (HST).

Don’t forget to press and trim those bunny ears! Make 4.

The next HST will be in pink and light fabric.

Press, trim, and make 8.

Now time for little four-patches!

Chain sewing makes the assembly of these sew fast and fun.

Sew rows together…

…and press the seams as shown above. Make 4.

Layout 2 pink HSTs, 1 blue HST, and 1 four-patch.

Sew into a corner unit, press, and trim. Make 4.

Next we’ll move onto assembling the side unit, it will be made from 3 strips.

Press seam allowance in one direction towards light and trim. Make 4.

Finally we need to make the center unit, we will be making only 1.

Sew pieces into rows, sew rows together, and trim. This cute little block needs its own quilt!

Lay your units out as shown above. Sew them into rows, then sew rows together.

This block will shine and glow in your quilt! I am so happy how this quilt is turning out; we are almost half way through!

Happy Quilting! Edyta

 
 
 

Hello friends and welcome back!

We are working on Block 2 for the Jelly Snowflake Mystery Quilt from Fat Quarter Shop. I am using light strips from my Signature Style Jelly Roll and a blue background from Perfect Union.

There are so many wonderful blue choices and this is another of my favorites. The little gold stars will add a touch of sparkle to this quilt!

Block 2 is sew cute, the cutting directions can be found here. We will be making 8 of them so chain sewing is really helpful in getting these blocks done quickly and precisely.

Our quilt is starting to blossom! I’ve placed Block 2 into its correct location in the layout above.

Happy Quilting – see you next week! Edyta

Let the fun begin! I am so excited to make my Block 1 for the Jelly Snowflake Mystery Quilt.

I cut my Signature Style Jelly Roll and background fabric following the directions on Fat Quarter Shop Blog. I used Aurifil 2310 thread and my favorite wooden press tool for the seams.

This block is sew super easy and fun. Make 4.

I have placed my first blocks into the quilt – it fills the corners so nice!

If you like the blue and white combination, there are so many beautiful “Perfect Union” pieces to choose from.

Or maybe you have another favorite from the Laundry Basket Quilts blue collections!

Be sure to share your projects using #JellySnowflakeQAL to join in the fun!


Happy Quilting! Edyta
