I'm so excited to be sewing along with the 2024 RBD Block Challenge! It's such a fun way to prioritize sewing each week, connect with other quilters, and play with fabric!
It's Week 8! This week's block is called "Glisten" by Jill Finley. For my block, I let the center star recede into the background, which allows the pinks and reds to sparkle!
I'm sewing along using fabric from my new To Grandmothers House Fabric Collection with Riley Blake Designs! This fabric collection (in stores February 2024) has sweet colors, cute prints, and lots of fussy-cutting fun!
I can't wait to follow along with everyone's blocks! It's going to be such an inspirational few months. I hope you join in! Follow me on social media @sewastory_jenniferlong on Instagram and Facebook, so we can connect more.
I'll see you next week for Block 9!

To Grandmother's House Fabric
Do you love this fabric? My To Grandmother's House fabric collection is in stores now and we have so much fun planned!
Here's one of the sewing patterns that uses To Grandmother's House -- Strawberry Basket. The Strawberry Basket quilt has two easy blocks that form a gorgeous secondary design when pieced into the quilt. Choose juicy red and pink fabrics for the strawberries and pair them with fresh greens and crisp whites for a throw-size quilt that's perfect for displaying in your home or taking on a picnic.
