| A Quilting Life June Block |
The June 2024 Quilt Block of the Month from A Quilting Life, designed by renowned quilter Sherri McConnell, showcases a versatile and timeless block that blends traditional techniques with a modern flair. This month’s block features four quarter-square triangle (hourglass) units framed by bold outer star points, making it a stunning addition to the year-long quilt project. The design encourages creativity, with endless possibilities for experimenting with fabric combinations, ensuring each quilter can make the block uniquely their own.
As with previous blocks in the series, the June block is available in two sizes—16" and 8" finished—allowing quilters to choose the scale that best suits their vision. This month’s block is designed to complement the Strawberry Lemonade fabric collection, a cheerful and vibrant line of fabrics that became available earlier in 2024. The collection’s playful prints and fresh color palette provide a perfect backdrop for showcasing the intricate details of the block. For the background fabric, Sherri recommends the tone-on-tone options from the Strawberry Lemonade line or Moda Bella 9900-200 for a crisp, clean look.
To support quilters of all skill levels, the block comes with detailed written instructions and an in-depth video tutorial. Sherri guides participants through each step, sharing tips on piecing and pressing to ensure precise and polished results.
This release marks the halfway point of the 2024 Block of the Month sew-along, an exciting milestone for participants working toward the final quilt layout, with setting instructions scheduled for release in December 2024. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just beginning your quilting journey, this month’s block offers an opportunity to learn, experiment, and create something truly beautiful.
