Block Party: Heirloom Blocks for a Quiet Life

About this event

🍃 Heirloom Blocks for a Quiet Life 🍃

Our Garden Courtyard block is a lovely beginner-friendly design that comes together quickly while introducing a few traditional quilting techniques, including flying geese and setting a center square on point. As the pieces fall into place, delicate stars begin to appear in the block’s secondary design.

The block’s name was inspired by the look of an heirloom garden, with graceful pathways leading toward the center. The on-point diamond becomes the garden’s focal point—a fountain or statue resting at the heart of a beautiful, historic courtyard. It’s a little garden of its own, stitched one piece at a time.

Whether stitched as a single block, combined with past & future Heirloom Block Party designs, OR making multiple of the same block, Garden Courtyard is the first step toward creating an heirloom quilt filled with warmth, friendship, and quiet beauty.

NOTE: Your supply list will be included in your confirmation email immediately following registration. The supply list is for one block only. If you plan to make a full quilt, additional fabric will be needed based on the finished size you choose.

If you plan to create a sampler quilt using a variety of monthly Heirloom Blocks, we recommend beginning with a fat quarter bundle (18 fabrics or larger) or a Layer Cake plus coordinating yardage/ scraps in similiar tones, along with 3½ yards of background fabric for a twin-size quilt (60" × 75").

Block Party is a monthly series, and you're welcome to join at any time. Stitch a single block, collect your favorites, or create a sampler quilt that tells your own story, one beautiful block at a time.
