We will be adding some of my Fantastic Beasts from last year, to complete this quilt.
Reminder that the final layout instructions for layout 2 will be released end of December.
Signature block.
If
you have been sewing along on any of the Quilt Along events, you will
have seen that some of the designers releasing a signature block during
the event.
What is a signature block?
It
is a block, that you can sew and embroider with your details on it. You
can use this as your quilt label and you can send this block to the
designer, who collects all of these blocks from all over the world to
make into a memory quilt for themselves.
Do I have to make one?
Absolutely
not. This is a special request, and is not compulsory at all. We would
love to get one though, it makes such a nice memory to add into a quilt.
What do I do?
Download
the pattern. Sew it up. And embroider / stencil your name, where you
are from and the #FBQAL2 somewhere on the block and send it off to the
address that is printed on the pattern. Easy peazy.
10 x 10 inches excluding the seam allowance
