RBD Block Challenge – Block 3 by Jennifer Long

It’s time for Block 3, the last block in our January line up! If you have done this Sew Along with us in years past, then you know that some blocks pose more of a challenge than others. This is one of those blocks! It takes patience and precision to make this beautiful rose inspired design.

Block 3 is called Roses Among the Thorns and is designed by Jennifer Long. You can click below to download the quilt block pattern and sew along with us!

Jennifer is sewing in her It Takes a Village collection. Jennifer made 3 version of her block! Which is your favorite color combo? See more on Jennifer’s Blog at the link below!

This year, like last, we are sewing our blocks in both our Confetti Cottons™ Solids and Expressions Batiks. Check out the Batiks version of this week’s block!

We mentioned earlier that this block is a bit tricky! We highly recommend following along with Cindy on YouTube if you have trouble with this block. To make it a little easier, Cindy decided to oversize pieces H & L and the pattern is marked with those changes. If you have already cut out your fabric using the original cutting guide, it will still work! It’s just more of a challenge in accurate piecing. Decide for yourself which route is best for you and enjoy the challenge!

Can you believe our first month is already done?! We hope you’re having a great time. If you haven’t started yet or have a friend who is late to the party, we hope you’ll join our private FB Group for a chance to enter a Block Challenge Quilt Kit with Confetti Cottons™ Solids!! The kit giveaway will close the first week of February. Don’t forget to tag us in your posts with #rbdblockchallenge. We’ll see you next week for Block 4!
