PATTERN SHEET: MiniBlockQAL – BLOCK8
Can you believe it?!
We’re slowly getting to the pointy-end of the series with our second-to-last block to make!
Today’s block is another one of those traditional types that I’ve always wanted to make but just have never got around to doing it! Not anymore though! This sweet delicious little block is called Cake Stand and is sooo scrumptious and lovely, I just want to make a whole quilt out of it!
As I was coming up to the colour ‘brown’ in my own theme for this QAL, I just had to combine chocolate + cake to equal a yummy block design! The added pink and white are supposed to loosely resemble sickly sweet spiking icing on top of the cake. 😋
So, my advice when making this block…
Be patient and take your time. And double check the position of all of your units more than once before sewing them together, just to avoid any stressful unpicking moments! (I know this from personal experience!!) This block can be deceptively tricky if you’re not paying attention!
Best of luck and enjoy making!

So, yep! The next block to come will be the last in the series before we start sashing all of our beautiful blocks together!
I can’t wait to see what everyone’s will look like!!
Remember, if you want me (as well as all of the other equally talented and creative people joining in on the QAL) to see what you’re making, share them with us on Instagram using the hashtag #AmandasMiniQAL and tagging me with the handle: @3and3quarters 👍🏻
Block 9 is a super-duper simple design. We’ll be using some techniques and tools that I’ve never used before in any of my previous QALs.
Should be fun, I think!! 😊
Until then…
Happy Sewing, Friends!
