Each month, for the next 6 months, there will be two blocks to make. They are the same block design, but one is a wonderfully larger 12" block that is great to piece and goes together in a snap. And the second is a super cute 6" block that is wonderful for building technique of piecing with smaller sizes :) They are both just so fun to make!!!
So are you joining in the Clementine fun??? If so, you can download the block pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $5.00 to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital :) This is Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL that is raising funds for an amazing organization that is leading the way in understanding, treating, and working to defeat childhood cancer. What a wonderful way for us all to make a difference !! 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 it is all about Fat Quarters for this Quilt Along and after some playing around in my stash, I decided to use Farmer's Daughter by Lella Botique for Moda and I just love the chic colors and prints!!! I have already gone through and paired my fabrics into groups of four for each month, so excited!!! If you are quilting along and want to use the original Mama's Cottage fabrics you can find a Quilt Along Kit right over here, or if you want to pick a different fabric like me, you just need 24 Fat Quarters, an accent fabric and some background fabric ;) You can find the Fabric Requirements here ;)
And like always, Fat Quarter Shop has made awesome You Tube video tutorials that walk you through making each month's blocks. There are some great helpful hints and you can see it put together step by step!!!
Be sure to share all of your Clementine progress on social media with #clementinequiltalong and check out these fabulous bloggers who are quilting along for some Watermelon Wheel block inspiration :)
