The Six Inch Block of the Week List

Back in December I wrote a blog to tell you about a new project I am planning on under taking – The Six Inch Block of the Week. Over Christmas I haven’t lost my enthusiasm for it so this week I am sharing with your The Six Inch Block of the Week List. A list of the blocks and the prep work that I am putting in this week to make the process of sewing a little easier.

I am chosing a variety of block styles, some old and some modern. Also if you read the post in December you’ll know that I am using 4 different fabric styles to try out colour combinations and styles to increase my skill set in this!

Some of these names are made up by me because as far as I know they don’t have one and will give them credit if it’s due. Depending on how long I extend this process I’ll add names to the list as I go.

  1. Churn Dash
  2. Open Window
  3. Jacobs Ladder
  4. Hello Cross
  5. Friendship Block
  6. Look Up
  7. New Album

This week it’s all about how to prep. I’m making 4 of each block and I like to cut it all out in advance. I use an envelope system and when the fabric is cut I put it in an envelope and label it so that when I have time to sew I can just pick an envelope and go!

It’s as simple as that! After doing all prep work for my blocks I am really excited with my fabric choices. Getting the right colour combinations is always something that I struggle with but I am going to trust in the powers of the fabric and go with it!

The Six Inch Block of the Week is ready to go and I can’t wait to share this project with you!

See you next week, Karen x
