Jessica Taylor · 2026-07-10

Welcome back for week 20 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along! We're celebrating our amazing quilting community with another fresh block pattern. This week, we're thrilled to introduce the charming Gazebo by Doug Leko. It's a beginner-friendly design that's perfect for quilters of all skill levels. ### Meet Doug Leko and the Gazebo Block Doug Leko is the creative force behind Antler Quilt Designs, and he's known for patterns that are both beautiful and accessible. The Gazebo Block is no exception. It uses a handful of half-square triangles and simple piecing to create a lovely structure. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Gazebo Block 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. ### Free Patterns and Supplies To get started, grab the free PDF pattern for the Gazebo Block.
