WEEK 2 - PUZZLE BOX BLOCKS

So now, let's get to more blocks!!!   It's the second week of making blocks for the Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along and I am just so thrilled you are quilting along with me!!!  Just a reminder,  I am making 2 versions of the quilt, so I will be sharing two sets of blocks.    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 2 - Puzzle Box Block Pattern  supplemental directions for making your blocks ;)  This week we will be making 4 blocks from the Puzzle Box quilt!!!

To make your 4 Puzzle Box Blocks, you will be using directions from pages 52-57 in your book and the Week 2 - Puzzle Box Block Pattern  for supplemental directions.  

And take care when adding your sashing to do 2 sashed in one layout, and the remaining 2, rotating them 90 degrees before sashing ;)
