Designer Mystery 2024 Month 5
One of my favorite parts of this monthās block is the opportunity it gives to begin piecing together the quilt top! With each row assembled as we go, weāre gradually building a cohesive look, bringing together the house elements that are central to the My Summer House theme. By the end of the quilt-along, most of our top will already be assembled, making the final steps smoother and more satisfying.
Tips for Month 5’s Block
Keep the Scottie Dog Crisp:Ā To make your Scottie dog stand out, focus on sharp seams giving him a clean, polished look.
Work with Precision:Ā With smaller details like the bow tie and star, take extra time with cutting and stitching to ensure accuracy.
Building Row by Row:Ā As you piece this block, think about how it aligns with the previous months. This approach helps keep everything aligned and ensures smooth assembly for the full quilt top.
