Snail Trail Block of the Month #9 | Quilt Sew-Along (2021)

A fabulous spiral pattern that completes the main body of your Seminole patchwork quilt.

This Block of the Month project involves cutting out quite a few sub-sets, so I strongly recommend that you read through the instructions closely before you begin, to ensure you cut out the correct number to the right measurements. Once all your sub-sets are cut out and ready to go, piecing them together is a breeze!

I have used 19¾ x 21½in (50 x 55cm) fat quarters to cut my strips; if your fabric is wider, then please cut your fabric to these measurements first.

Unfinished block size: 18½ x 7½in (47 x 19cm)
