July 1, 2022

Last week we made the first half of our Hayes Corner Blocks, and this week we finish the block with our four patch based components!

Keep reading to find out how to win this week’s awesome prize!

Week 5 Instructions

Quilt Concert 2022: Seasons of Love uses lots of Hayes Corner blocks, so we have split the components across two weeks. This week is all about the four patch based components, while last week focused on the half square triangle sections. The Hayes Corner block is number 1377 in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Blocks.

The instructions are available to download for free through 11:59pm Eastern on Sunday, July 3, 2022. If you miss the free download, you can purchase the Block 4 instructions alone for $2 through 11:59pm Eastern on Thursday, July, 14 2022. The full pattern is available for purchase at any time.

Sponsor and Prize of the Week

This week’s sponsor is Aurifil! They make my favorite thread, and this week one of you will get to share in the fun!

Aurifil is an accomplished Italian company based in Milan, specializing in the production of 100% Cotton threads from the Mako region of Egypt. The threads have achieved worldwide success thanks to a dedicated collective of quilters, sewists, embroiderers, and textile artists who herald the thread for its versatility, its strength, and the fact that it produces virtually no lint.

One lucky winner anywhere in the world will receive a three pack of 40wt thread from the 2021 color builder series! The winner will choose from one of the twelve boxes and will receive the thread along with a foundation paper piecing block pattern (that I designed!) inspired by the endangered species that inspired the color palette for that month.
