As always, if you make any of these blocks or any blocks from the other sew alongs, or patterns, please tag me if you post pics so I can see. I love to see how different people and different fabrics make the same blocks and quilts look so unique.

You can find me here:

@kellifanninquilts on IG, or *HERE* at my FB page, or in the sew along group on FB *HERE*, where you can see lots of blocks from this and the free Minecraft, Pokemon, and Harry Potter sew alongs. You can also click --> National Days quilt blocks to find links to all of the blocks I'm including in my quilt. That's where I'm keeping them all organized.

The next National Days block on deck is for Montana Day. I'll be back soon with more fun fabric related things. I love fabric related things! haha Have a great weekend!
