Dogwood Blossoms Quilt-A-Long
Dogwood Blossoms is a bold, block-based quilt that comes together quickly. It’s perfect for confident beginners who want to practice half square triangles, triangles in a square, and square in a squares. Plus, it’s pre-cut friendly with the larger block being easy to make from fat quarters and the smaller block being perfect for a 10” square pack and background fabric.
So, what do you say? Should we make it together?
This pattern comes together quickly, but it’s the perfect opportunity to teach each of these triangle-based units, so we’re going to take our time and go week by week through them.
On MONDAYS, I’ll release a resource (blog and/or YouTube video) full of tips and tricks for that week’s sewing. Then, on WEDNESDAYS, join me via Instagram live (@stringandstory) at 11am ET from June 24- August 14th to sew together while I answer Q&As (replays available).
Signing up for the QAL is free, but you’ll need to purchase the pattern to sew along with us.
