Block #10 [BONUS BLOCK] Broken Sash Block: 2022 Summer Quilt Along
Surprise! About midway through, I decided I wanted to add one more quilt block to this quilt along.
Oh my goodness! I just noticed that I made my block wrong. I swapped the orientation of each of the 4 templates.
This is the Broken Sash block—it is really easy to piece. Each of the blocks in this quilt along were selected from Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia for Pieced Quilt Patterns—I drafted the paper piecing templates, wrote all of my own instructions, etc. I chose blocks that all had particular angles and “fit together” to make interesting secondary shapes.
This block has so many interesting secondary patterns when you mock it up! There is a coloring page included in each block.
I just mocked up two quick quilts, using this block. Endless possibilities
Spend the summer making a choose your own adventure sampler quilt! This beginner-friendly sampler pattern features 9 different block designs—make the quilt as shown [2 options!] or create your own 13 block quilt.
Note: Faith Jones, Lee Heinrich and I are not hosting the Summer Sampler this year. This quilt along will be run similarly to the Summer Sampler.
Enjoy easy-to-follow instructions and helpful hints every step of the way. This year, former Summer Sampler designers will be sharing tips throughout the quilt along, on everything from choosing fabrics, to basting quilts, to paper piecing hacks to make your life easier!
