Love those Accordion Sewn HSTs like I do? I've got a new pattern that uses both them and another of my favorite design elements - diagonal blocks. So many layout options, so much fun! The spiky, almost floral look to the blocks in the cover layout is a striking way to add a little desert-inspired flair, or change up the layout to create something all your own. "Thread Your Cactus Needle" blocks are made from ordered accordions that don't have to be kept in order once cut apart, making it a great project for any confident beginner. In fact, the quilts on the covers were made entirely using blocks made by testers, proving anyone can successfully tackle these blocks and this design.
