I just love the way these blocks are a plus inside a plus. And when I said tiny I wasn't kidding. All of the blocks in this Patchwork Quilt Along will finish at 5". EEEkkk, so cute!!! There will be 72 blocks total in the quilt and we will be making them up 6 each month.
So if you are joining in the Patchwork fun, you can download the block pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $5.00 to the Make a Wish Foundation ;) This QAL is raising funds for this amazing organization that grants wishes to children faced with life threatening medical conditions. What a wonderful way for us all to make a difference in a special child's life!! And Fat Quarter Shop and Moda will match up to $20,000 of the donations raised. So let's help them reach that goal ;)
This year I am doing something a little different and not using the same fabrics as the Fat Quarter Shop's original quilt. I decided to use Desert Bloom by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda and I just love how those happy colors just pop!! If you are quilting along and want to use the original Bonnie and Camille Basics you can find a Quilt Along Kit right over here, or if you want to pick a different fabric like me, you just need (2) Jolly Bars or (1) Layer Cake cut in half and then some background fabric and borders.
And like always, Fat Quarter Shop has made up a super fun little You Tube video that walks you through making the block step by step!!!
Be sure to share all of your Patchwork progress on social media with #patchworkquiltalong and check out these fabulous bloggers who are quilting along for some Souvenir of Friendship block inspiration :)
