Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along - Block C

Westward Ho!

We continue our journey along the trail by making Block C for the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along sampler quilt. It's appropriate to our "journey" theme, that this block is best suited to hand piecing, a technique that would have been the only way a women on an overland journey could have pieced blocks along the way (unless, of course, the family made room in the wagon for a precious treadle sewing machine!).

If you're unfamiliar with hand piecing, or if you'd like to see how I piece this particular block specifically, I've put together a video tutorial on hand piecing the sunflower block. The techniques I share can be applied to any quilt block, simple to complex.
