Thank you for visiting my blog for July's Quilt Block Mania!
This month's theme is "Books" and your designers have 21 new quilt block designs for you! Best of all, they're all free for the month of July 2024.
I'm really excited to share my newest quilt block design with you! It's definitely my new favorite and I think you'll love making your own. Book Lover is perfect for any lover of books, old and young! There are so many fun ways to customize the quilt block, too. I can see you using fun, novelty prints for the pages of the book, or changing the colors of the heart, or even making the pages out of treasured t-shirts. What you create will be special beyond words.
For my own block, to show my love of sewing and creating I used a favorite print from the "Maker" collection by Art Gallery Fabrics and a paint swatch print by Carrie Bloomston. I also used PURE Solids by Art Gallery Fabrics in Very Berry (the heart), Vintage Walnut (the book cover), and Tranquil Waters (the background).
Book Lover isn't difficult to make, especially if you've made any of my other Quilt Block Mania designs. The pattern features Stitch & Flip corners with other traditional piecing techniques - you totally got this!
Minimum Fabric Requirements:
for (1) 12"x12" finished quilt block: fat eighths or scraps of 4-5 colors will be more than enough.
The Book Lover Quilt Block, along with the other QBM blocks, measure 12.5"x12.5", unfinished. Each block is FREE during the month of July, so you can combine multiple blocks into a fabulous quilt or pick and choose your favorites. (Scroll down for the list of designers and links to their patterns).

Hi Marti,
I hope you’ve been getting the emails that I’ve sent over the past several months. If you haven’t, I’m hoping you’ll see my reply to your comment. I looked into your email subscription and discovered that, beginning last September, your email address began bouncing my newsletter emails which is why you haven’t been receiving them. I can’t tell if Yahoo is stopping them or if it’s an issue with a typo in your email address, but hopefully we can figure it out together. Please email me at cristy@purpledaisiesllc.com and we’ll sort it all out. And I’ll make sure you receive any of the previous month’s quilt block patterns.
Thank you,
Cristy
