WEEK 4 - JACKS BLOCKS

So now, let's get to more blocks!!!   It's the fourth week of making blocks for the Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along and I am just loving seeing the variety in the blocks so far!!!  Just a reminder,  I am making sharing two sets of blocks, but you only need to share one set ;)     You will need your copy of Fast & Fun Lap Quilts (which is available in both hard copy or e-book format)  for the piecing instructions as well as the Week 4 - Jacks Pattern  supplemental directions for making your blocks ;)  This week we will be making 2 blocks from the Jacks quilt!!!

To make your 2 Jacks Blocks, you will be using directions from pages 47-51 in your book and the Week 4 - Jacks Pattern  for supplemental directions.  

And while there are only 2 blocks this week, they take a little more time to make, so keep that in mind ;)  Of course, they are still super fun to make, just lots and lots of little stitch and flips :)
