I’m joining a new sew along
Happy Monday! I’m joining a new sew along that just started up and I hope you’ll play along, too! My friend, Amanda of The Patchsmith, has a new book titled The Patchsmith’s Sampler Quilt Blocks. This book is full of the cutest, 6″ quilt blocks that are easily pieced together. There are just a few applique blocks included, so I think there’s something for everybody.
Amanda is hosting a sew along where she will post one block each week with tips on how to make it. You will need to purchase the book to get the full instructions, and it’s definitely worth the price for all 50 blocks included.
We’ve just begun week 2 of the sew along with the Guiding Star block. I love these little friendship stars!
I’m having fun digging through my stash of fabrics for each block. The first block, Brick Wall, is really easy to sew together. I love the scrappy fabric and colors of this one!
I really can’t wait for next week. If you’re not convinced already, the watermelon block will push you over the fence. Just wait!
I hope you’ll join the fun and sew along with us. Happy quilting!

One day I’ll do a sew along but for now I just have live through your journey. The blocks are cute
Your first two blocks are truly delightful!! I love seeing your fabric choices, and will look forward to seeing your sampler blocks throughout the year!

Do you think a collection of 5″ charms would be good for this pattern? The blocks are quite small but didn’t know if 5″ charms would really work on most of the patterns.
I have been thinking about joining in on this sew along and you post has convinced me. I just downloaded the booklet and will have to get started on the blocks.
Didn’t take much to talk me into that! Thank you for sharing!
There definitely are some cute blocks at Patchsmith’s Sampler! I’ll give it some thought. Of course, I have other sewing projects that need done.
Thanks, Julie! I just bought every pattern book by The Patchsmith that I could find on Craftsy. LOL! I don’t know if I’m going to be successful in following along all year, but I’m going to give it a go! xoxo
You have chosen such pretty fabrics for this Sew-a-Long!
Oh WOW – I love your blocks. So glad you are joining in Julie.
Thank You for reminding me about the Patchsmith’s Sampler Quilt Blocks booklet. I just purchased it and downloaded my booklet. She creates such beautiful patchwork.
