TODAY’S ASSIGNMENT: (4) Snail Blocks from Who’s Cruising Round Town quilt.

Scrappy tip: I use low volume of cream and white for the background to give the overall background a sparkling effect!

And here are my 4 snail blocks for the sampler quilt QAL.

Click here for more pictures and see the fussy cutting I did for the windows of the house. I had designed the snail block to give a fun twist to house blocks, AND as a humorous take on how I tend to pack my house wherever I go! :-)

I hope you have had fun sewing the snail blocks. You will find that they don’t take long to make. You might just find yourself making additional blocks to make your own Who’s Snailing Round Town quilt!

Thank you for sewing along with me. See you next week!

Hello friends, I hope you have had a nice start to your New Year! I posted on Instagram a little fun “Your birth month = your easy quilt to make in 2026”. I thought I would share the link with you in case you are able to view the post. Click the picture below to view.

Each quilt was selected so that you can comfortably complete each quilt in a month. Obviously, there is NO restriction to make a quilt that is not listed for your birth month. :-D

Also, all the patterns (digital) are 26% off in my Etsy store. Click here to stock up as there will be a price adjustment to my patterns in Feb 2026.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

Hello my friends! Happy December to you. It’s hard to believe the year is almost over, and we are now in the Christmas Advent season. I hope you have had a good one.
