One Block Wonders... for June...Topographical


I can hardly believe how excited I am to share this months block.....
 Why so excited? Because I almost deleted it from the One Block Wonder's  BOM list!!!

But......

I found the right combination, and all it took was some fabric inspiration....

May Blooms..... One Block Wonders BOM

May Blooms


One Block Wonders quilt block samples and quilts have seen an increase in production, yeah!!

Only to be halted by a lack of proper thread colours and border fabrics...oops....

RJR Cotton Supreme Solids

Not to worry.....the orders are in and hopefully by the time this post goes live, all will be back on track!
I am trying to get ahead so when the really good summer weather hits (oh, when is the really nice summer weather going to hit???), I won't fall behind and leave you all hanging, while I am hanging out poolside, ;)!

I may fall behind on the actual full version patterns, but I don't think anyone will mind that, 
they will get posted as soon as possible, over in my Craftsy Pattern Shop!



Before we move on to May's block, 
let's finish up a little business from April!
Thanks again to our sponsors from last month, 

Our winners are....

Constructing Your Block:




The full size pattern will be available soon in my Craftsy Pattern Shop, I'm sorry for the delay, the full patterns for the One Block Wonders BOM are usually available before the month ends, but an illness has slowed me down and I have fallen behind! Will update this post when the pattern is available! (Just a reminder the block pattern is free and available for the month it is posted and then is removed and a full quilt pattern is available for sale)











You might have something that looks like this........

April's One Block Wonder BOM....Diamond Path

Finishing up with March:

 I'll announce last months winners in a separate post this time, as I have the link running until later today!
So you may still have enough time to link your block if you got one sewed together.....


Great prizes are being sponsored by 




April's block is finally here.....Diamond Path.....

I fell in love with this one....hope you feel the same way. It's another easy sew and jelly roll friendly ...if you have one laying around that you have been wanting to use!!
But I have to be honest...insert goofy grin here...I was having so much fun with this one, I actually forgot to take pictures  as I was making the blocks/quilt!! Totally "Loopy" of me! And this quilt is totally done...quilted and bound (pictures to come)!!!
So I had to cut out and make an extra lone block, just for the tutorial...oops.


This months sample is sewn in P&B Textiles Urban Scandinavian, with Bella Suede

Just love blue and white together and the pop of red just works so well....but it could have been yellow, orange or any other colour.....

I can't wait to see how you interpret this month's block, or maybe you will be inspired by the blue and white......?

Before I get to the tutorial though,  let's talk about this month's sponsors, and the fun prizes being offered for our next link up party!!!

Rita from



is sponsoring a $30 Gift Certificate 


as well as the on going discount you can use for the whole year of our BOM


and 


is sponsoring a FQ Bundle of Urban Scandinavian

Another great month with awesome sewing rewards!!




What you will need: 8 different prints/fabrics, plus your accent and your background fabrics






Cut on your drawn line or down the centre to separate into 2


Trim


and press open


Now lay out your pieces and start construction: (I am so sorry about these pictures, should have checked them, and it's too late now...)


In chain piecing fashion I worked across the block joining the prints to the BG. Pressed the seams. There are only a few seams that actually line up in this block and they only happen when putting blocks together, so sewers choice on how you want to press your seams.

When your column are made, you can then start joining them together.




And that's it...your first block is together. It is such a fast block.


What happens when you put 4 blocks together you ask.....
I heard you.... ;)

Here's what your mini could look like.....



or maybe this


or maybe even like this....


Have fun 
and look for the next post with our March winners in it!!!
