Earlier this month I announced the 2016 Block of the Month Sew Along and today, it’s time to get started with block 1!
I’m hanging over at Fairfield World and preparing you to start stitching the Starry Night Quilt Sampler. Today, I am revealing the layout, sharing the complete material list and kicking it into high gear with the very first block; the 9 patch.
The 9 patch is a very basic block that can help your build your skills in so many ways. From keeping your lines straight, to nesting seams, this foundation block is one that you will want to master! Be sure to check out my 9 patch post for more easy tips on how to keep this block looking it’s best.
Remember, the Starry Night Quilt Sampler was designed to showcase traditional quilt blocks with a modern twist and I am so excited to see your quilt blocks come together. Be sure to share them on social media using the #StarryNightQuilt for us to see!

Hi Heather, the quilt looks great and I can’t wait to get started. My charity group would love to sew along. Am I allowed to translate the instructions in Italian and give them to them?
you bet Tamara! I just ask for a few pictures along the way.

Do you sell kits of the fabric for this quilt, having problems finding the material here in Australia, and just love it. Thankyou
