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 :)
