Block Book

This month's issue of Love Patchwork & Quilting is out and I have a small project in it. I made a Block Book to help keep blocks organised and tidy while you're working on a project, or two. 


It's a simple pattern, with wadding exposed on the inside to help keep those blocks from slipping about. The pattern is easy peasy, with some extra stiff interfacing to keep the book's shape. 


Mostly I just kind of love my colour choices and am tempted to make a whole quilt using them. I think the cover block would work well in multiples as a whole quilt.

  1. Brilliant idea...especially for those hand pieced projects that we all lug about with us ( valiantly working towards a finish !)

    Congrats on the magazine inclusion too.

  6. I love my block books, they're so handy when you're making blocks with lots and lots of fussy cut pieces that you've spent ages arranging in just the right way! Congratulations on the publication - when are they going to make you their 'in-house' maker/designer?!
