Makers’ Call: Block Edition

MAKERS CALL LOGO

One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of every month is looking at all the exciting things that are happening and being released on our calendar! Discovering significant days that are dedicated to your loved ones, a unique cause, and this time around I there was something extra special happening… The whole month of September is National Sewing Month

At Art Gallery Fabrics, we dedicate our craft to those makers that transform our fabrics into something even more beautiful! This is a month that celebrates all you creatives out there and this is our chance to say thank you and to give you something more to show our appreciation. 

Our team would like to introduce to you all, MAKERS’ CALL

To celebrate National Sewing Month, we want to invite you on a creative journey with us, where you call the shots through the entire design process. Every week for the rest of the month of September, we will be showing you a series of things to choose from until the final project is made. This event will start by choosing your favorite quilt block, then choosing what project will be made with that quilt block, till the very end where you can download the free pattern you voted for! 

Starting today, we need YOU to choose your favorite original AGF block! We will be asking all over social media for everyone to vote for their block of choice and we will tally up the votes and announce the winning block next week on Wednesday, 9/15/2021.

If you have a platform everywhere, we encourage you to vote on all of them to make sure your favorite block gets chosen! Choose between Block A, B, or C.

    A is so unusual. I would hope it would be a large block, though!

    I like A but the off symmetry bothers me.

    The choice was difficult! I really liked the fabrics used in all three blocks, each one creating a completely different mood. I was instinctively drawn to B because the colors were some of my favorites and were so soft and calming. HOWEVER, after studying the blocks for a while, I decided to choose block A. I was attracted to the originality and vibrancy of the design.

    At first I liked block A until I notice the directional change of the corner triangular pieces (deliberate???). Then I also liked C as it has a balanced look. I guess I would vote A if the triangle piece was a mistake. But if not then I vote C.

    Block A is my choice. I love the design and beautiful center square. There are many options you could put into the middle and work around it with the rest of the design.
