Sewcialites 3 Block 20: Gazebo by Doug Leko

Robert Moore · 2026-07-10

Welcome back for week 20 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along! We're so glad you're here as we celebrate this amazing quilting community. Each week, one of 25 oh-sew-talented designers brings you a new block pattern, and this week, we're thrilled to introduce the charming Gazebo by Doug Leko. ### Meet Doug Leko and the Gazebo Block Doug Leko is the prolific quilt designer behind Antler Quilt Designs, and he's crafted a beginner-level Gazebo Block that's perfect for quilters of all skill levels. This block uses a handful of half square triangles and some simple piecing, making it approachable and fun. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial on Friday, July 10th, at 9 AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel. Doug is sewing his Sewcialites 3 Quilt with Gathered by Jen Kingwell for Moda Fabrics, a collection that adds warmth and charm to the project. ### Gazebo Block Pattern and Recommended Paper To get started, you'll need the free PDF pattern for the Gazebo Block.

Take a look at the Gazebo Block in all three size options: - **6-inch block**: Kimberly sewed it using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics. - **3-inch block**: Gina Tell (@gina_tell_threadgraffiti) made it in Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics. - **9-inch block**: Pat Sloan (@quilterpatsloan) pieced hers with Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics. Three of our Quilty Staffers are also joining in, making 9-inch blocks using Blueprint by Camille Roskelley, American Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings, and In the Garden by Corey Yoder, all for Moda Fabrics. Each version brings a unique feel to the design. ### Join the Sewcialites Community Ready to chat?
