    There will be some great weekly prizes totalling over a $500 value along the way for the participants who post to the #nordiccrossingquilt hashtag on Instagram.  Be sure to check out the sponsors below!

    WEEK TWO

    • Cut out your fabrics if you haven’t already.
    • Make 8 blocks
    • Remember to use the hashtag #nordiccrossingquilt on intagram.

    GRAB THE PATTERN

    If you don’t have the pattern already, grab your copy in the shop.

    As I mentioned last week, I am making a scrappy version so all my center blocks will be different fabric prints and I love how they all look together.

    You have to excuse the photos this week. My computer has refused to start, so I took all the photos on my iphone instead of my good camera. But beautiful photos or not the quilt is so fun to start sewing. I love watching the square in square blocks come together.

    To start making the square in square block you will sew the two of Fabric B triangles to the opposite sides of Fabric A.

    Then Press open.

    To help with the center placement of the triangles, I like to make a fold along the center of the square so I can easily line up the point of the triangle with the crease.

    Then sew the remaining two fabric B triangles to the other two sides of the the unit. Press open.

    Trim and square up the edges, making sure that there is 1/4in seam allowance from each point of the square to the edge of the white fabric.

    Repeat this steps above for placing the first unit into the the second square.

    Winners are chosen and announced on Instagram.

    Thank you to our sponsors this week:

    The Simple Life Pattern Company - Winner will receive 3 Free Patterns of their choice.
