More quilt along news! I do have a post with a running list of quilt alongs but this one promises to be so fun I thought it deserved a post of its own. You’ve probably seen Kate Basti’s Tall Tales Quilt block all over Instagram? Well she’s kicking off a Summer Book Club quilt along in June with three new book patterns. Sign ups will open on her website at noon EST Monday April 22, so keep an eye out!

I plan to make a full quilt during the quilt along, but in the meantime here’s the single Tall Tales Block I made using Kate’s original block pattern:
Just bought the pattern and downloaded it. Although I’m not a huge fan of paper piecing, this is such a cute block, that I thought I’d give it a try (again). My first thought was a Summer Book Club book bag! Maybe more than one!! (I’m a Librarian!)
A book club bag is such a great idea Susan! This is also a really good block if you’ve leery of paper piecing, it’s been a while since I sewed one but I remember it being simple and well-designed.
