You should have an 8 1/2" sewing machine quilt block, 8" finished in quilt.
Because this block had sooo many pieces and not your typical sizes, I wanted to be sure it was all understandable and doable from a video, so Amy tested it for me using youtube. Then she made a few more. The cutest scrappy sewing machines!
Oh! And I mocked up a quilt of them to see what they would look like as a one block quilt.
That's all for this block! Thanks for visiting to read. It's almost Friday again. Happy Weekend!
Be back soon!

P.S. I love to see blocks and quilts that are made with any of my patterns. If you post on social media, come find me in any of these places and tag me so I can see! :)
I'm keeping all of these blocks organized on the National Days quilt blocks page *HERE* if you're looking for any of the other blocks.
