Welcome to Week 11 of the Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge. This week's block is a really fun block. It has a lot of color play options and it was really a joy to sew together! I am having so much fun making up each of these blocks and seeing all the wonderful blocks under the hashtag #RBDBlockChallenge.
You are invited to join myself and 15 other Riley Blake Design designers as we share 16 NEW and exciting 10" quilt blocks! It is fun and free and the final quilt is a surprise!!!
We began on (January 3rd) and will be ending May 23rd with the finishing instructions! Every Tuesday, a NEW block pattern is released, except the last Tuesday of the month when we take a moment to catch up, get inspired and really enjoy all the awesome work happening on the RBD Block Challenge around the globe!
