Carrot Top Block | Blocks 2 Quilt

Last week was bunnies and this week is carrots, are you noticing a theme? I’ve got Easter on my mind! The next addition in the Blocks 2 Quilt series is the Carrot Top block.

Just like the Bunny Hop block from last week, this simple block can be used for so many different things. I can see alternating these with the bunnies and making a festive new table runner for the season.

Carrot Top Block Details:

Each finished Carrot Top quilt block measures:

• 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
• 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)

Material & Tool Supply List:

• Assorted Scraps: Orange, Green & Background Prints
• Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
• Heat erasing marking tool
• Spray starch

This block is a simple patchwork construction that highlights flying geese, half square triangles and strip piecing. Some of the cut pieces in the 6″ block are small and can be tricky to stitch in place. For that reason, I am saying this block is perfect for the confident beginner.

The Carrot Top quilt block is available to download for free until April 4th, 2019, then it will be available for purchase in my shop.

One of the things I love about this series is hearing from you and seeing your finished blocks. So please, don’t be shy… After your block is stitched please share a few pictures of your work using the hashtags #Blocks2Quilt and #TheSewingLoft so we can all see.

If you are just joining the fun now no worries, the Blocks2Quilt series is a year long adventure designed to sharpen your quilting skills while building your block library. Each week I will release a new block for you to stitch up and trust me, you won’t want to miss out.
