Improv Quilt-A-Long Block 3

It's Quilt-A-Long Thursday!

Hello dear quilty friends! This is Kerrilyn and Patti, bringing you the latest link for Block #3 of the Quilt-A-Long. We have been so impressed with how diligent and dedicated our QAL participants have been so far! (Check out the photo at the end of this post to see a bunch of the blocks at July's SFMQG meeting.)

Here's the link for Month/Block 3 (bring to August's meeting)!

This block has a little more "curvy" curve – but don't stress! Some people will feel comfortable pinning the curved pieces, but some of you daring gals may want to try minimal pinning – it's easy peasy once you get the hang of it. Just remember you need to keep a 1/4 inch seam allowance so you will need to line up both pieces with the 1/4 inch seam allowance on the right side of your presser foot and sew SLOWLY, keeping the seam allowance consistent and gently easing the fabric (don't overstretch). After finishing, clip the curve and press and your curve will be awesome.

We're looking forward to seeing your blocks at the August meeting! Make sure to check off your block so it counts! Also, we love seeing your blocks posted on Facebook and/or Instagram!

We can't wait to see you all at the next meeting! Have a great day!
