This month is the Chain Block and there are a lot of them, 18 to be exact!!! So fun :) But no worries, we used strip piecing to put these together, so even though it looks like a lot of piecing, it goes pretty fast ;)
You know that I am totally loving this Chain Block, as I love all things chains in quilting ;) I just love the way they connect everything and create such great movement in the quilt ;)
If you sewing along or want to join in on the fun, you can download the block pattern right here and then don't forget to donate the $5.00 for the pattern to the March of Dimes ;) This QAL is raising funds for premature babies and Fat Quarter Shop and Moda and All of Us are teaming up to make a big impact! It is so wonderful to see how much has already been raised!!
And like always, Kimberly and Joanna , have made a fabulous You Tube video that walks you through making the block step by step. So if you have never strip pieced or made squares in a square blocks before, you are about to learn something new ;)
Be sure to share all of your Crossroads progress on social media with #crossroadsquiltalong and check out these fabulous bloggers who are quilting along for some Chain Block inspiration :)
