Summer Sampler 2019 Block 11: Combining stripes and curves

Happy Monday! This week's Summer Sampler 2019 block is a two-fer when it comes to skills: Stripes and curves.I didn't expect to fall in love with this block, but I did! I feel like there are just so many design possibilities here if you switch up the colors and values, and that's my favorite kind of quilt block. And, if you think this block is difficult, you'd be wrong. Especially after curve-intensive Block 6! This block was a piece of cake.

And hey: If you purchased the acrylic curve templates from one of our previous Summer Sampler 2019 designers, Jen Carlton Bailly of BettyCrockerAss, you can use her 6-1/2" templates on this block! Yay!
