Block Party – Month 9

Block Party - Nov. 02, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

How is it already November?! What happened to October?

More...

As we get into some of the busiest time of the year, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to throw an easy and classic block your way. This month we're making log cabin quilt blocks, a design many quilters start out with. Made up entirely of rectangles, you stack each piece one at a time to create a woven look. What I love about this block is although it's basic, depending on the design, once you layer it with other log cabin quilt blocks it can create some really cool visual effects. 

So have fun making some this month! This is a great replacement block for any months that just weren't speaking to you. Change around the fabrics and they end up looking like entirely different quilt blocks.

    I’m an avid quilter and crafter/artist. You have given me a great way to learn more and am enjoying watching your quilt tips and especially your bag making. My husband keeps telling me to sell my stuff but I usually just give them as gifts. I am glad that I accidentally found your channel but have still learned a lot from your demonstrations. I hope to learn more about bag making and have done a few but gave away for Christmas and forgot to take pictures. Keep up the good work. Just a thought. When making quilt projects, such as month eleven I think, you used a flying geese. Please refer to the unit as such, and just a tip on flying geese, always sew with that unit on top so that you can see where your tip is and you do not sew beyond that then you will always have perfect points in that block.

I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t n I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t need in life. But as a bag maker, I would say the AnnaBelle Shoulder Bag pattern from @siahswagbags is a Bag Making 101 essential. The shape is gorgeous, you can have lots of fun with modifications, and the look of this bag can be SO different depending on the material. The structure is fantastic (LOVE the foam sandwich method) and overall it’s a fun way to spend time sewing. 10/10 no notes!

Enjoy!

The Ellie Card Case from @missfrecklesdesign is a beautiful accessory that has four card slots and a center pocket. This is a great project for quilt cotton! And there is NO HARDWARE 🙏

Check out Miss Freckles on Instagram to see her reel walking you through the process, or go visit the OklaRoots YouTube Channel for a yappy tutorial. 

Have a great week friends ❤️

Have fun with this one!

I love how we’re starting out with simple rectangles. This makes it great for those of us (me) who are still newer to foundation paper piecing. 

It’s a big block with lots of beautiful fabric! I can’t wait to see this come together ❤️

I love how adaptable this pattern is: easily make it a crossbody, add card slot pockets, and an embroidery design to the exterior… so many creative opportunities!

This is also the July/August Bag Making BABE Box from @bagmakingbeesclub , a great sew for those newer to bag making or wanting to try out bonded nylon and water resistant canvas. I love how simple and classic it turned out 🖤💜.

Have a great start to August!

Do you do anything with smalls scraps? I toss most, but for my really special materials (Harris Tweed, Liberty, etc) I’m always trying to find creative ways to use them.

Ok back to bags!
Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Babi Boxy Crossbody (a pattern originally designed for clear vinyl) is finally a success!

I’ll have a full video tutorial AND written instructions available soon ❤️❤️❤️
