Description:

Spool block quilts have always drawn my attention and I have come across a tutorial that uses scraps, so hurrah!

The tutorial is found at: https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/tutorial-spool-shuffle-quilt/

I would like to host a 5 month swap where we would each make 2 spool blocks of any color. For the background I thought we could stick to a cream or white so when the blocks are sewn together it creates a soft scrappy background.

I hope there are other quilters who like spool quilts.

Just 2 blocks of any color with white or cream background made by following the tutorial listed above. Each month there will only be one partner to send to.

are the finished blocks to be only 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 as in the tutorial?

@debhous - yes, just like the tutorial.

Can these block be made of one solid piece for the centre or "thread"? I have some cool looking fabrics that this would work for!

@Gixxychic I think the solid piece of fabric would look fine in the center - go for it.

@jamleft Awesome! Thanks for hosting another GREAT swap!
