How to Sew Quilt Fairy Dreams Block 6

It’s time for September’s Quilt Fairy Dreams Block of the Month! Block 6 is a 16" design with a square-in-a-square center and pieced accents that bring the whole quilt closer to completion.

The centerpiece of Block 6 is a crisp square-in-a-square unit, finished at 8" in the middle of the block. Angela walks you through how to finger press your seams for accuracy, nest them neatly, and trim with precision so that everything lines up perfectly in the end. She also shares a clever way to build the skinny spacer blocks for the quilt’s column layout using a jelly-race style strip-piecing trick. These little details make a big difference in how flat and polished your quilt looks once everything is joined together.
