Welcome to Week 5 of the Sew Much Fun Tour!
Each week a designer will be presenting a 6″ (6 1/2″ unfinished) block on the theme of sewing.
This week’s designer is Maria at

Last week’s block was from Laura Strickland of Orange Blossom Quilt Design Studio
My block is going to look a bit different than Laura’s even though I love her block! I decided against the small squares for the background to help me get it done in a week (and you can see I still didn’t!) I used some leftover light 2 1/2 ” squares from different lines and sewed them together for my background. My plan for the sewing machine is to use this pink piece of fabric I bought from Alison Glass’ scrap sale this summer.
Laura does a great job showing you different color options for this block and I encourage you to go check it out.
The week before was from Laura of Slice of Pi Quilts.
I’m really happy with how my yellow thimble turned out!
Week 2’s block Jen of Faith and Fun Sew Much Fun and Week 1 round out the blocks from this tour.
The blocks will be free for the duration of the tour – 52 weeks – so you have time. BUT, if you see one you like, get it! Designers may ask you to sign up to a newsletter to receive their block. I encourage you to ~visit~ the blogs and check out the designers’ work. While blocks are free, designers do put in time and it’s great to receive feedback 😉
Next week’s designer is Carolyn of Applique Quilts and More
Week 7 is Sue Griffiths of Duck Creek Mountain Quilting
Week 8 Nancy of Patchwork Breeze
