6″ Garden Block Challenge – sew, crochet, knit, embroider, needlepoint – any block!

It’s SPRING! Here’s your challenge: Make a 6″ block – leave a 1/2″ seam allowance all around. The only requirements are:

• It has something from the garden in it: flowers, bugs, trees – all nature.
• You can piece it, you can crochet it, knit, embroider – whatever your needleart jam is.
• Is 6″ with a 1/2 in seam allowance – this is to help adjust when measurements are off.
• If you can only make larger ones, go for 10″ and we can incorporate those too!

Crocheted will go with crocheted, knitted with knitted, quilted/sewn with quilted/sewn.

You can also use floral fabrics and make traditional geometric blocks. They would be great in these quilts too.

Sewn/quilted/pieced/embroidered – whatever you want to call it will go together. These will include needlepoint, too. Please ensure your needlework block has room to sew them together with the quilt blocks – that’s where that extra half inch comes in handy.

When you have yours done, you can mail them to us and we will put them all together.

Depending on how many we receive, we will make those into binkies and show them off. We will take a photo of your block with your name so we know who all contributed to each binky. We’ll send you a photo of the finished one.

Does this sound fun? It’s a quick project.

You can send as many as you want. There are some links at the right some free patterns.
