Think about you, quilting. Pair that image with your wildest, most wouldn’t-it-be-amazing dream. What does your marvel of a quilting experience look like? For astronaut Karen Nyberg, her quilting adventure was a literal out-of-this world event: making a quilt block in orbit, on the International Space Station. Wow! Inspiration doesn’t come on a scale much …

Today let's look at this fun traditional quilt block called Loop the Loop. I can imagine it pays homage to the old-time barnstormers! After making the block, I can see that I could have it done it differently - be on the look out for version 2.0.

Today I'm sharing with you a fun, scrappy block called Scrappy Susannah. This block is a fantastic way to use up some scraps since all of the needed squares are either 3.5” or 4.25”. Here’s the tutorial! **edited to add: A printable version of these instructions is now available here as a PDF!** For one (12.5") block you’ll need: 8 (3.5”) print squares 4 (3.5”) white or background squares 2 (4.25”) print squares 2 (4.25”) white or background squares 1. On the two (4.25”) white squares, draw a diagonal line or fold in half and finger press. 2. Place each 4.25” white square right sides together with a 4.25” print square. Sew about 1/4” on both sides of the drawn line. 3. Cut along the drawn line to make two half square triangles (HST). 4. Open HSTs, press and trim each HST to be 3.5” 5. Layout squares as shown. 6. Using a 1/4” seam, sew squares into rows. Press each row. (I prefer to press seams open at this point) 7. Sew rows together, matching seams, and press block. Block should measure 12.5” And there you have it! Pretty easy, right? If you'd like to print out this tutorial for easy reference later, you can find a free downloadable PDF here. If you make a Scrappy Susannah block I'd love to see it! Tag me on Instagram (@abrightcorner) or Facebook. Be sure to use the hashtag #scrappysusannahblock so we can all see what you've created!

Olha o passarinho! Hoje vamos mais uma vez utilizar a técnica canto quebrado para criar um bloco ilustrativo - como fizemos no bloco casinha e no bloco coração. Mas hoje vamos costurar um passarinho! Blocos ilustrativos parecem difíceis porque normalmente suas proporções fogem às grades tradicionais. Mas, na verdade, são formados por sub-unidades simples e fáceis de costurar. Na hora do cálculo, é só prestar muita atenção às proporções. Na ilustração acima, repare que o passarinho em si está montado em uma grade de 4 x 5 quadradinhos. Estou considerando que cada quadradinho mede 1 1/2; então o design está medindo 6 x 7 1/2. Para complementar o tamanho desejado - 8 polegadas - eu acrecentei tiras em coringa em cima e embaixo, medindo uma polegada cada; e à direita do desenho eu acrescentei uma tirinha de meia polegada, onde está posicionado o biquinho. Deu para enxergar? Vamos à lista de corte: Peça A: É um quadrado de 3 polegadas; corte com 3 1/2, em azul escuro, uma vez. Para quebrar os cantos (que medem metade do tamanho do quadrado, ou 1 1/2), corte dois quadradinhos de 2 polegadas, em tecido azul claro. Quebre os cantos como você aprendeu nas intruções dos blocos anteriores. Preste atenção à posição das diagonais! Se tiver duvidas sobre a técnica, releia a lição básica nº 5. Reserve. Peça B: É um retângulo medindo 4 1/2 x 1 1/2; corte com 5 x 2, uma vez, em tecido azul claro. O canto superior dessa peça é quebrado na proporção de 1/3; se a largura da peça é 1 1/2, então esse cantinho mede apenas meia polegada. Corte com 1 polegada (sempre meia a mais, né?), uma vez, no tecido coringa. O canto inferior tem a mesma largura da peça - 1 1/2; corte com duas polegadas, uma vez, em coringa. Quebre os cantos e reserve. Peças C e D: São gansinhos, mas as cores variam e você vai precisar de somente um de cada. Se você fosse confeccionar vários passarinhos, valeria apenas costurar gansinhos; mas você já aprendeu que gansinhos são montados sempre de 4 em 4; nesse caso, três deles seriam desperdiçados. Então vamos montar essas peças utilizando cantos quebrados - que dão o mesmíssimo resultado. As peças medem 3 x 1 1/2; corte dois retângulos de 3 1/2 x 2, em tecido coringa. Para quebrar os cantos, você vai precisar de quadradinhos de 2": corte três peças em tecido azul claro e uma peça em tecido azul escuro. Quebre os cantos como mostrado no desenho e reserve. Peça E: É um retângulo de 3 x 1 1/2; corte com 3 1/2 x 2, uma vez, em tecido azul claro. Para quebrar os cantos, corte dois quadradinhos de 2", em tecido coringa. Monte a peça e reserve. Peças F: Medem 4 1/2 x 1 1/2; corte com 5 x 2, duas vezes, em tecido coringa. Peça G: É um quadradinho de 1 1/2; corte com 2 polegadas, uma vez, em coringa. Peça H: É uma tirinha de 1/2 x 6; corte com 1 x 6 1/2, em coringa, uma vez. Peças I: São as tiras complementares, de 1 x 8, superior e inferior; corte com 8 1/2 x 1 1/2, duas vezes, em coringa. Vamos montar? Confira se suas peças têm a aparência abaixo: Está faltando o biquinho, não é? Para o biquinho, você vai usar apenas um triangulozinho de feltro, ou um quadradinho de tecido dobrado para formar um triângulo. Acompanhe a montagem. A essa altura você já é uma "cobra criada" - bem esperta! - portanto já sabe o que fazer com as margens de costura e o posicionamento das peças. Não sofra tanto com a questão das margens de costura: lembre-se apenas que elas precisam estar invertidas ao encaixar duas peças com costuras que se cruzam. Na hora do encaixe, se as duas estiverem voltadas para o mesmo lado, inverta uma. Passar as margens deve ser instintivo, e por isso não vou mais orientar o lado como venho fazendo até aqui: você vai aos poucos percebendo sozinha o que funciona melhor. Então apenas siga o esquema: Agora, antes de costurar a peça H, é preciso alfinetar o biquinho na "cabeça" do passarinho, como mostrado abaixo: Agora é só acrescentar as peças "i", em cima e embaixo. Está pronto! Já pensou confeccionar uma versão "pombinha da paz" - em tecido branco e com o raminho de oliveira bordado no biquinho? Essa é a graça do patchwork - as possibilidades são infinitas! Hoje estamos completando 2/3 de nosso projeto - a meta é 36 blocos. Chequei no calendário, e o último bloco será postado no dia 25 de outubro. Depois disso, vou postar a cada semana sugestões e instruções para diferentes tipos de montagens. Com seus 36 blocos, você poderá montar uma colcha, xale de leito, manta de sofá... ou vários projetos menores, se preferir. Continue com a gente e até semana que vem!

Welcome! If you are just joining us, information about materials can be found here, and here are the previous blocks: Block 1, Block 2, Block 3, Block 4, Block 5, Block 6, Block 7, Block 8, Block 9, Block 10, Block 11, Block 12, Block 13, Block 14, Block 15, Block 16, Block 17, Block 18, Block 19, Block 20, Block 21. Materials: 8 3.5" squares of Color A 8 3.5" squares of Color B *note* these are the essential materials for each block, so you can cut several blocks worth of fabric at once to save time! Create your blocks, following the same procedure as last week. If you need help making your blocks, please see this post. You should end up with 16 2.5" squares. Ready to lay out your block? Here we go! ROW 1 ROW 2 ROW 3 ROW 4 After you have sewn your squares into rows, press your seams. I like to press odd numbered rows to the left, and even to the right. It helps to use a small piece of paper to number your rows. I like the tiny post-it notes. After pressing, you are ready to sew your rows together! Pin, if necessary, but I find that these short rows don't require pinning. Press one final time, and voila! Another finished block! Only 50 to go! Pat yourself on the back!
