House Block QAL – Block #3: Two of the Same

House Block QAL – Block #3Download

We’re one-third of the way into the QAL and block three, in it’s simple nature, is a firm favourite of mine the more I look and admire it!

It really is such a lovely, neat block to make where the tall houses just dominate the design in a pleasing way! This one would look great with some dense floral prints for the houses and contrasting colours for the roofs. Add in red doors and you’ve got the making of some lovely London-style town houses! Fab! 🙌🏻

As always, don’t forget to share your finished blocks with me and everyone else who is following along using the hashtag –

Block four is in the early drafting and editing stages and will be released as soon as I can finalise it!

Happy Sewing, friends!

House Block QAL – Block #2: Three Terraces

PATTERN – House Block QAL – Block #2Download

Our lovely second make in my House Block QAL is here! Say hello to the Three Terraces block. 👋🏠

Inspo for this one came from those sweet little inner city streets that are endlessly lined with rows of tall houses standing neatly together. Although they’ve all been built the same, each one is slightly different to their neighbour either through the exterior colours or how well they’ve been loved throughout the years.

Another option for this block that I think would look super cute – change the grass sections for yellow sand and turn the terraces into fun little beach huts! Or even change the grass sections into blue water and the paths into yellow sand trails… 🏖️

There’s so much room for creativity and fun with this block and I can’t wait to see how you all interpret the design and make it yours!

House Block QAL – Block #1: The Original Homestead

PATTERN – House Block QAL – Block #1Download

Welcome friends to a muchly anticipated and very over-due Quilt Along!

I can’t quite believe the last Quilt-Along (the Mini Block QAL) I hosted was seven years ago – that was 2018! What!?!?

Well today, I’m so happy to be able to share with you the first block in this new House Block QAL!

The Original Homestead is a nod to the classic house block seen in both vintage and modern quilts and is relatively simple to piece together. 

Take your time choosing the right colours and prints you want to use for your block and take advantage of the colouring-in page to explore and decide what works best!

Follow the tutorial below to learn how to piece this block together.

Don’t forget to share your finished blocks with everyone using the hashtag – #AmandasHouseBlockQAL as well as tagging me on Instagram @3and3quarters!

Sneaky hint for the next block in the QAL…

Block #2 is a Trio of fun! 🏠🏠🏠

Happy Sewing, friends!

PS. Just incase you missed it, here’s the Introduction video I shared chatting all about this new QAL! xx
