March Quilt Block Challenge
March is National Quilting Month. I have teamed up with Fave Quilts to create the March Quilt Block Challenge. Fave Quilts has TONS of amazing quilt and quilt block patterns for you to learn how to quilt. They also have great tutorials for increasing your quilting skill. I am tickled to be partnering with them for this fun challenge. Don’t forget to pin this post so that you can always find it and check in on the supplies and resources for the new blocks.
March Quilt Block Challenge
I have created these prompts to help spark creativity and expand your quilting knowledge. These prompts are meant to help you open your mind to new and different types of quilting. You don’t have to participate in each and every day. Just do the prompts that speak to you and have fun! This is about growing and learning and having fun!
To follow along with the quilt block challenge head over to Instagram and follow Sew What Alicia and Fave Quilts. You can also check in HERE to see all the days in one place on the Fave Quilts blog.
We will have weekly giveaways from our fabric sponsors. To participate follow Sew What Alicia, and Fave Quilts on Instagram. Then use the hashtag #FAVEQUILTING2019. Each quilt block you make and share using the hashtag will count as one entry for the weekly giveaway.
Fave Quilts is also doing a large giveaway of ALL the fun fabrics from all the sponsors. You can find info HERE.

This paper gives you a 10″ braid. I cut two strips to the length I wanted. Then cut one of the strips in half and line it up so that it extends each strip on each side. Then cut each side evenly so that you have the size you want. I wanted my block to be 12.5″ or 12″ finished.
