**Background on Block Wednesday **
- I design, write, create, and sew along with you USING a Bundle of Fabric, a background and then a border to finish it off.
- My Wednesday sew alongs are a mystery filled with SIMPLE and FUN blocks. The block does not LOOK like what I'm talking about.
- I make the block each week using the bundle, I don't know in advance what fabric goes where. My Free Wed sew alongs are not planned out in advance, I do them to be creative and have fun! You can see all the prior ones HERE

We used to play Heads Up 7Up in the classroom on rainy days. Played 4square, red rover and dodge ball at recess. Carrems (is that how you spell it) and tetherball too.
Love all your quilting blocks,and patterns,question …..lol ……do you sleep,
I am ready!
I remember playing dodge ball and red rover when I was a child. Looking forward to another Wednesday sew along. Using a bundle I picked up from my favorite quilt shop here in town. Can’t wait til Wednesday.
I’m looking forward to the games blocks. I always need a new challenge and your blocks are always so fun to do. The anticipation of what is coming on Wednesdays is part of the fun.
Looking forward to Wednesday Sew A Long. We had a great childhood playing those games.
Looking forward to Childhood games quilt along order fabric 1st day 👏😊
Yes! Really looking forward to this.
Hi Pat, after being without electricity for the past 4 days because of the snow storm that is wrecking havoc with the rest of the states, it’s wonderful to be back in the online quilting world. So happy to catch up on your videos I missed. Getting ready to start the childhood games quilt, should be fun! 🙂
My favourite game was red light green light. We could play it until the street lights came on and then we all had to go home.
I really love these sew a longs. Especially, when we are all doing the same thing but our colors really make each one unique. I’ll have to hold off on starting anything more, we are going on vacation…… So looking forward to it. But, will be sad to not be able to make anything.
Just ordered! I am back to quilting now that my kids are grown. I have been following the site for a few months but had a crazy fall / early winter and have been waiting for this! I received a new BabyLock for Xmas and am so excited. This is my first sew along. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Looks like a lot of fun! Love you’re quilt alongs!
I”m going to try to use some of my MANY fat quarters from my stash for this one, any suggestions on groupings of colors Pat? The bundle looks to me like a lot of green, blue, and red, with some touches of yellow and orange, would it be fair to say three basic colors with a couple more for pops here and there? Thanks for any advise you can offer Pat!
I can hardly wait, I ordered my bundle plus extra yardage of jungle print for a border and my backing.
oh yeah, I am ready! Cant wait, it is the 29th yet? How about now?
Sounds fun!!!
I could tell it was light. Just wondered what particular fabric it was. Thanks.
Thanks! I’ll try that!
try to make your bundle 1/3 light. 1/3 medium. and 1.3 darks . be sure to keep a variety in your squares by keeping them on a design (felt backed table cloth) wall so you can see the progression of the squares.
ok lets go!!!!!! got traffic jam on the wall ready to do final piecing. picking out the fq bundle for childs play. woopee. alreasy got out west started to and one from ,y quilt shop. happy sewing!!!!!!!
Very exciting! I have so very many things going so what’s another one. Al the merrier!
I can’t wait for this sew along! The fabrics are so fun!! I can’t afford the bundle so I’m using my “inherited” stash to pick some fun fabrics. Do you have suggestions on how to go about picking the fabrics? Sometimes with these mystery quilts I end up with too many darks, too many lights, or not enough multi color prints to get nice contrast and make the block pop. Any suggestions like number of multi colors, number of medium, dark and light?
it’s light, see the photos at the FQS of the fabrics
thank you for joining me Debbie!
it is for variety Susie…. and they get used up more quickly than you expect. i work from bundles.
Exactly!
All the things is good!
so happy you will join me!

Can’t wait Miss Pat! You rock! 🤗
OK.. game on!
Hi Pat, I also like the sew alongs however… 25 fat quarters sounds excessive for a lap size quilt. Will we really need that many? Thank you for your quilting advise and sharing.
And I’m putting this in my planner right now!
Oooh! I’ve been waiting for this announcement!😊
I just ordered the bundle! I was afraid they were going to run out. And I love the colors. This will be my first Sew Along and I am so excited!
Pat, What background fabric are you using?
Thanks.
BEST games and memories!!!!!! Thanks Pat!!’
This is going to be so fun! I can’t afford the bundle, but I’m sure I have many bright fabrics in my stash.
This sounds like fun! I love your quilt alongside!!
Just ordered the fabric! I can’t wait!!
I love your sew alongs, but honestly I don’t know how you do it!?! I am sewing furiously to finish my traffic jam and ended up with enough squares to make a few quilts and here you are with another!
I was waiting on this. Now I’m switching up my fabric from Out West to this SAL!
Can’t wait!!! So much fun!!
Yea!!!!
Oooh the game quilt sounds fun!!!!
What a nice early surprise❣️
