Bricks and Blocks quilt along week 3 - let's put it all togther

Hi friends,

Hope you are enjoying this quilt along. This week we are going to put it all together. Take your blocks and sort them into piles based on color. Because we have only 3 colors, putting it together won't be too hard. I usually alternate the colors. You will put them into rows. For the crib/lap size you will put them in a row of 5 and will have 6 rows going down.  For the twin you will have 7 blocks across and 9 down. For the queen you will have 9 across and 9 down.


When I do this part, I like to lay them all out, and then take a picture that I can refer to. I will also number my rows and blocks. So for row 1, I would put on a piece of paper row 1 block 1, row 1 block 2, row 1 block 3 and continue all the way across the first row, then do each succeeding row. Use a 1/4" seam  to put the rows together.

    1. Thanks Mary Lynn. If you decide you want to get started, the directions should be easy enough. Then we can get together and I can help you quilt it.
