November's Grandma's Attic BOM

Happy November! It's been quiet the weekend, Halloween, turn the clocks back.... full moon.... as you read this I'm on my way to quilt retreat, driving along with my bestie. I'm going to pick up a HUGE vanilla latte for the drive there. Going to a new place I've never gone to before with girlfriends from my quilt guild. I'm looking forward to the mini vacation. I've packed my bag with comfy clothes, I spent time this week designing and precutting projects. I stocked the fridge for hubby and got a huge project done a week ago and it's off to the quilter. Huge sigh of accomplishment, I will quietly celebrate by sewing the next few days. I voted early so I don't have to worry about that too. I'm hoping to stay away from the news for the next few days but it may be impossible... it's a huge election...... I'm looking forward to all of the campaign ads going away. I just want to watch the Hallmark station.

 This month's block is a Triple Stripe block. It'll be a challenge for you since it's set on point. You can use all the same color or make your block scrappy by using several red fabrics. So go to the Quilt Doodle Website and download the pattern. Let's get started!

To begin with, follow the directions on the PDF that you download and cut out all of your pieces, and label as shown on the pattern. Feel free to make your block scrappy if you would like. Have fun, relax and sew.

Starting with the red #1, 2 and3 C rectangles, sew together to make a 3 strip square. Iron.

Sew a C pieced square to each side of cream D square. Iron. Then sew an A triangle to each end of the CDC strip. Iron.

Then sew a cream B triangle to each side of the C pieced square right sides together lining up the straight edges. Iron. Sew and cream A triangle to the 'top' of the BCB section. Iron. Make two for each block.

Sew the block together. Trim the block to measure 10 1/2" x 10 1/2". Make 4 blocks total.

And then sew the four blocks together to  make one large 20 1/2 " x 20 1/2 " block.

 I hope you have fun making this month's block.  Remember the goal is to use fabric from your stash! We are almost done with our quilt. I look forward to showing you mine next month.

The monthly FREE pattern is available on my website. I have a special 2020 BOM section on my website. Each month the FREE pattern will be posted. But as soon as the new section or block is out the old block pattern will no longer be a freebie. But it will still be available for a small fee on my website or in my Etsy shop. If you want to share your finished blocks, feel free to post them on Facebook Group (Quilt Doodle Designs Grandmas Attic BOM 2020) and tag me or post them on Instagram tag Quilt Doodle Designs. I love to see everyone's progress as we stitch along together. 

Remember to post your blocks onto the Facebook Group, it's so much fun to see everyone's progress!

Happy quilting!

I'm also planning for the 2021 BOM!

The measurements of the quilt are 65" x 80"

There are 12 easy applique blocks, one each month, a little embroidery. I am making mine out of the Primo Plaid Lumberjacks that I helped design for Marcus Fabrics. It's a mystery quilt... the logo is a big hint.....

Kits are available here and on Etsy
