Constructing Your Block Of The Month Quilt (2020)

Learn how to join all of your blocks together to form your final quilt.

Congratulations! You've reached the end of your quilt-along project – it's time to bring your monthly blocks together and create your quilt. To stitch all the quilt elements together, I've used a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance. Make sure to have an iron to hand, as pressing your fabrics before sewing ensures clean seams and professional results. Don’t rush! If this is your first quilt, simply follow the instructions below, and take each stage slowly. By focusing on each step, you’ll create a beautiful quilt that you'll be proud of. Enjoy the process and celebrate your quilting success!
