Confections Quilt Along - Month 10

Kimberlee Tanner

We now have only 3 blocks left! It's been so much fun watching your blocks finish up and seeing the colors and fabrics you have chosen. We can't wait to see the finished tops! Also, since it's October, we are busy planning for next years quilt along and will be announcing it soon. It's going to be a little different than we've been doing, but is something a lot of you have been asking for, so we are excited to finally be able to offer it. Make sure you've signed up for our newsletter so you don't miss any of the details! 

All Blocks will be 6 1/2"

 

For all the specifics for the quilt along and links to all the blog posts, check out the main quilt along page:

We'll add each month's link to that page and it also goes over fabric requirements and schedule. We recommend bookmarking it if you would like to be able to always find the posts easily.

Cutting the White/Background Fabric

Remember, for your white fabric you can simply cut off what you need from your yardage each month, no need to precut it down to anything.

  • Cut 1 strip at 2 1/2" x WOF
    • Subcut into 10 - 2 1/2" squares
  • Cut 3 strips at 1 1/2" x WOF
    • Subcut into 80 - 1 1/2" squares (use remaining fabric from 2 1/2" strip if needed)

Cutting the Colored Fabric

From each Month 10 section:

  • Cut 4 - 1 1/2 x 4 1/2" strips
  • Cut 4 - 1 1/2 x 2 1/2" strips

Making the Center Square

  1. Row 2: Sew 2 - 1 1/2 x 2 1/2" colored strips to opposite sides of 1 - 2 1/2" White square. Press towards the colored fabric.
  2. Row 1 and 3: Sew 1 - 1 1/2" white square to each side of 1 - 1 1/2 x 2 1/2" colored strip. Press towards the colored fabric. Repeat once. 
  3. Sew the rows together in order following the diagram below.

Making the Quilt Block

  1. Row 2: Using the block you just finished as the new center block, Sew 1 - 1 1/2 x 4 1/2" colored strip to either side of the center block. Press towards the solid colored strips.
  2. Row 1 and 3: Sew 1 - 1 1/2" white square to either side of 1 - 1 1/2 x 4 1/2" colored strips. Press towards the colored strips. Repeat once.
