Welcome to the 14th stop of the His & Hers Sew-Along with microMod!

I met Alexia at Sewing Summit 2012 when I signed up for her bag making class (still need to complete btw). I think we really hit it off at Quiltcon 2013.

Alexia is designer/writer.

Rob (her hubby) is an artist/illustrator.

Rob’s first fabric design, mircoMod from Cloud9 caught my eye last November and when it was available to buy. . . I jumped!

There have been some many great projects that have come out of this sew-along!!!  If you missed it – don’t worry the links are below this picture!

Today, I’m showing you how to make an Eyelet quilt block.

Fabric Requirements per block:

• (4)  3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches of printed fabric
• (2) 4 x 4 inches of solid fabric (or whatever print is going in the curves) 
• (2) 4 x 4 inches of background fabric

Block Constructions steps:

• First you’ll need to make (2) 3.25 x 3.25 drunkard’s path block.  You’ll need to buy a drunkard’s path template and best I found are:

Tabslot                                       Joann’s  

The best resources that I found for Drunkard’s Path block are:

The Sometimes Crafter

Needle and Spatula (she’ll even show you how without buying a template)

• After you’re done with the (2) drunkard’s path blocks start sewing your blocks together like so:

• Unfinished block should measure 9 1/2 x 6 1/2

If you play around with the layout you could get something pretty spectacular!!!!!
