It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Rose Dream

Hello everyone.

It’s time for another Classics block! This week we will be making Rose Dream.

Rose Dream is another Classics block that has come from an old quilt I made many years ago.

To create this block you will need the following templates.

The template kits for all my Classics are available through Sue Daley stockists and can be bought directly through Patchwork With Busyfingers. This block should measure 12½” when pieced together (12″ finished).

Many of these blocks can be machine or hand-pieced, depending on your preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. I personally prefer to hand-piece these blocks.

 

Following the hand piecing instructions sew 1-B piece to 1-C piece as shown in the diagram.

Make 4

Finger press the seams.

Following the hand piecing instructions sew 2-A pieces to 1-B piece as shown in the diagram.

Sew the 4-ABC pieces together as shown in the diagram.

The block should now measure 12½” square.

The block should look like this once complete.

These Classics blocks look amazing in all different fabrics! You can change up the look so easily just by experimenting with fabric placement. Here are a few basic layouts you can try.

Have fun making this block and remember to use the hashtag #suedaleyclassics when sharing your creations so I can take a look!
