SUMMER IS CALLING- How to Sew a “Gentle Breeze” Quilt Block Tutorial

Hello Friends, 

What are your favorite things about Summer? Having BBQ’s with family and friends, chilling poolside reading a good book, or the longer days of sunshine? Whatever it may be Dana Willard has recreated the Summer season into a great modern fabric collection perfect for all apparel markers, quilt makers and crafty DIYers!  Today I want to share with you the “Gentle Breeze” Block I sewed up using some of my faves from Dana’s collection.

My new favorite way to make HST’s is the four at a time method. All you need is two squares of fabric, place them right sides together and sew around the entire square at ¼, pivoting at each corner! Then cut your piece on both diagonals and viola!

Make sure to watch my block video below to make the new addition to the AGF Quilt Block Collection. If you are following along with me make sure to post your blocks on social media with the hashtag #AGFSummerSide! I wanna see all your pretty blocks!

 

If you want to get a look at all the prints up close and personal make sure to watch my first official Fabric Haul Video where I dive in deep and talk about all the prints and show you great Pure Solids to mix and match back with the collection.

Until Next Time, 

Meli
