Pat Sloan’s Solstice Challenge

January 6, 2017 by Scarlett Burroughs 4 Comments

Pat Sloan kicked off a sewing challenge that began on the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2016 and will run until the Summer Solstice come June 20, 2017. Every Wednesday, she posts on her website, I Love To Make Quilts, a free-to-download quilt block pattern. Pull some fabrics from your stash and start sewing. A bonus for joiners is you’ll get to see firsthand how a quilt is designed.

The Blocks released so far include Churn Dash, Day Into Night, and Tide Pools.
