Quilting for Beginners- How to Make a Granny Square Block

Hello Everyone, 

Ever feel like no matter how much you try to manage your time you never have enough time to get everything you want accomplished? Most often times we end up not doing things that are important to us because we are busy cleaning, working or taking care of everyone else but ourselves. If your trying to squeeze in a little bit of sewing to your everyday routine I would suggest sewing up a block from the AGF Quilt Block Collection! Most of these blocks are beginner friendly blocks that don’t take that long to make. So far the quilt block collection has 19 quilt block videos that you can follow along and make one, two or all of them to create your very own sampler quilt!

The next addition to the collection is called the Granny Square Block! I like this block because all it consists of are 3 1/2″ square sewn together and cut in such a way where it reveals this beautiful patchy x design! Enjoy the video below and make sure to download a copy of the pattern instructions

 

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

 

For those of you following along we would love to see your quilt block creations. Make sure to share your blocks on social media using the hashtag #agfquiltblockcollection

Happy Sewing, 

Melissa

    My favorite block but I do feel guilty about throwing away those triangles. I will take a picture of my big quilt if you want to see it.

    Hi Christi! I feel guilty for throwing any scrap away too. I always save my scraps and try to keep them organized and pull them out for small projects or for making mini quilts. I would love to see your quilt. Hashtag #agfquiltblockcollection on social media or send me a pic at this email marketing@artgalleryfabrics.com. Have a great day!
