Sew Your Stash Series - #3 Home Town 5' Quilt Block - (10' bonus block too!!)

Hello and welcome to my sewing room!
Today I'm showing you how to make my
#3 Home Town Quilt Block in 5" and also 10" size.
I am using my latest fabric collection HOME TOWN designed by me and produced and distributed by the fabulous Riley Blake Designs.
I have given you the cutting recipe for both sizes below so be sure and click until the entire description of this video is visible below.

I am making these blocks to go into the HOME TOWN SEW ALONG QUILT which takes place on my blog every Friday and Monday during this sew along.

Each tutorial I'll be showing you just one of ten blocks.
I'm also going to make several blocks of each to make a quilt for my bed and I'll take you along on that journey with me as I sew blocks each time on my vintage featherweight sewing machine.
Thank you for joining me today:)
I hope that you enjoy our time together in my sewing room!!

I’ve watched all these videos at least 5 times each and put them on every night while I sleep, hoping to absorb them all subliminally as well… so repeat away - because you do anyways, that’s the beauty of video!

[wandawoodrell]

I just want to thank you, thank you for showing easir way to make this block using same size squares instead of a square and a rectangle of same color. I already many many 2 1/2 inch squares already cut from some jelly roll strips. I was able to make 10 in block in less than hour. Yeay!

[suehafen]

All the blocks together on your design wall looked so pretty.

[AvivaHadas]

Don't apologize for repeating, I enjoy hearing the process even if I've heard it before.Thanks for sharing the block instructions.

[shelleythomas]

The ruler tip to check your seams and size of finished blocks is a game changer ❤

[diannegrant]

Love this! Thank you Lori 😊
By the way, you look fabulous ❤

[donnamoore]

I love Doris Day too. Sew much cuteness here.

[patriciaruppert]

Lori it is never tiring to hear you explain why you do things. I feel like I continue to learn. Thank you for your instructions. Great video. ❤❤❤

[brendadoherty]

Saying things over and over makes you a great teacher. ❤

[francesmiller]

This 5-inch block would be wonderful for a baby girl quilt in all your pink fabrics.

I have really enjoyed watching you sew your BEAUTIFUL blocks Lori! I just wanted to tell you I've sewn for many years as well. I FINALLY bought some clappers! Yup, I did! 😅 I thought! 🤔 I'm going to put them to the test! 😂 I press seams open as well. WOW!!! 😲 I couldn't BELIEVE how fabulous those clappers REALLY are!! Let me tell anyone who is reading this. Those clappers are a game changer!! NOTHING! will make your seam so flat & beautiful as those clappers do! Why did I wait so long!! 🤦I'm going to buy four more! I do a lot of piecing as well. THEN!! I thought! I can use them when I press my hubby's white shirts!! He has a lot of meetings to go to. A beautiful crisp seam on his sleeves & his collar. I have the tailored one as well that's longer!! It works for them as well!! 🤣🤣 He likes his white shirts starched!! WOW again!!! If you can buy them do. You will NOT be disappointed!! Thank you Lori!! 🎉🎉 🧡🧡
I live in Utah as well. Honestly, I've really enjoyed the cool crisp mornings & the beauty of all the fall colors in the mountains that were surrounded in! Aren't they beautiful this time of year! Along with all the fall trees in our neighborhood! 🧡

First: Your NEW "Hometown Snowman" series is Really Cute! Can't wait to sew that. Second: I love these videos on block construction. Your fast process is always so clever & has elements like the flippy corners instead of HSTs, that I can always count on. My blocks always come out great. Thanks Lori. Yes your Grandson is adorable--they just grow up way too fast!

[debbiemarx]

Thank you so much for these videos and all the sewing tips to make our blocks come out better!

[cindykavanaugh]

Thank you Lori for these new blocks! I have been hoping you would be adding more blocks to the Sew Your Stash series. These are going to be sew fun! Thank you for doing the quilty math and giving us two sizes. Your ideas always inspire me. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. Thank you for all you do ❤

[JackieOustrich]

And by the way you’re doing a great job on hometown quilt sew along!

[kellymcgowan]

Thank you for explaining all the gadgets and why you use them, and most importantly they are not required to make a quilt.

[lesleymeyers]

Lori, thank you so much. I enjoy your creativity, and I appreciate your generosity in sharing ❤
Love your nails

[debranorris]

Another beautiful block Lori!!! Thank you so much for your clear and precise instructions!!! I loved seeing little Reid at the end of the last video, he's just adorable!!!

[kcauffield]

Your way of doing these blocks is genius. I love watching your videos!

[newyorkdreamerneedleworks]

Thank you! And you look great by the way 😊
