Welcome to the OklaRoots channels first Block Party! Let’s start this off with a block that looks complicated, but is made up of basic shapes. But don’t be fooled, just because it is basic does not mean it will be simple!
To get started, I want you to focus on that infamous “scant quarter inch seam allowance”. It’s not quite a quarter inch, but it’s a lot more than an ⅛” inch… it’s a real bugger but necessary to learn when making quilt blocks. If you can find that sweet spot seam allowance, your blocks are much more likely to finish at the right size.

On the first Monday of every month I’ll be sharing a new quilt block design! These blocks are completely free and will include a PDF file with the templates, as well as a SVG file for fabric cutting machines. Whether you are cutting by machine or hand, the shapes will be the same. Don't forget to share your blocks on social media and include #OklaRootsBlockParty
All of the videos will remain in the Block Party playlist on the OklaRoots KZitem channel, so you can join in whenever you’d like!
