Sonoran Trail Sew Along- SunBurst and Village

Join this unique Sew Along!  This month, I am featuring the instructions to create the two SunBurst Blocks and the Village Block. Two blocks that feature both fun applique and easy piecing.

Sonoran Trail was created with southwestern influences, as I have spent the better part of the past few years exploring the beautiful vistas of Arizona.  Sonoran Trail takes from all those experiences.  This Sew Along will last until October 1, 2018.  I will be walking you through this quilt top step-by-step with tips, and thorough instructions and free templates.

We will create something beautiful together!

So how does this work?

Starting April 1, 2018, blocks will be offered on the first of the month. Two blocks (sometimes 3) each month, with the last being offered on October 1, 2018.  Each set of blocks will be available free to all Sitcom Readers until the end of that month.

Free Patterns each month

Tips and Tricks

When you print out the templates, set your printer page set up to “Fit to Page”.  All blocks in this quilt were done using 8.5″ x 11″ paper.  

This particular quilt pattern is done in wool blend applique sewn onto 100% cotton fabric.  My instructions are for that technique, but you can always change it out and create it with traditional applique!

For a tips on how to place and applique wool blend felt, please see my post here.
