Today we're enjoying the launch of the “I Can Totally Make That” FREE pattern series.
Here at Rocking Chair Quilts we LOVE beautiful fabric.
We LOVE a good pattern – especially A BIG BLOCK PATTERN
We’d LOVE for you to join us stitching up your favorites in this series.
First up is ‘Where WE Love is Home’
A big block designed by Corey Yoder

Designer Corey Yoder’s childhood home near SugarCreek Ohio is the inspiration for many of her designs: “Where the gardens are big, the farms are bigger and the hearts are biggest of all”

CLICK on the block to download Corey’s free pattern. Pattern note: the pattern uses one mini charm for the pieced border.

Here’s our version of Corey’s ‘Where we love is Home’ block we made at the shop.
We saw it, loved it, made it. We just couldn’t resist.
We used a Hickory Road by Jo Morton mini charm, and selected Kathy Schmitz Rice Paper prints from her Home fabric collection for our buggy and background
This big block goes together quickly using the pre-cut mini charm squares. A few sew and flip corners & a dozen seams later and your buggy and background are complete. Finish off with an applique triangle on your buggy. So cute!

There are 15 ‘I Can Totally Make That’ patterns. All are free patterns courtesy of Moda Fabric and their designers .Free patterns! What’s not to love? #modalove.
All are BIG 18” blocks that could stand alone as a mini quilt , make multiples for a larger throw or bed quilt. Maybe…make all 15 blocks as a sampler quilt? So many ways to go- isn’t that what we love about quilts and quilting?
Please respect the designer’s individual guidelines and use these patterns only for your own personal enjoyment. Read more about this at MODA FABRICS
