Jennifer Miller · 2026-07-10

Welcome back for week 20 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along! We're celebrating our amazing quilting community with another exciting block release. This week, Doug Leko from Antler Quilt Designs brings us the charming Gazebo block, a beginner-friendly pattern that uses half-square triangles and simple piecing. ### What You'll Love About the Gazebo Block This block is perfect for quilters of all skill levels. Doug designed it to be approachable yet beautiful, making it a great addition to your Sewcialites 3 quilt. You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial on Friday, July 10th, at 9 AM CT on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel. Doug is sewing his version with Gathered by Jen Kingwell for Moda Fabrics. ### Free Patterns and Recommended Tools To get started, download the free PDF pattern for the Gazebo block. You'll also need the Sewcialites 3 Information Packet and half-square triangle paper in 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch sizes. Visit the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along Supply Page for patterns for blocks 1 through 19. ### See the Gazebo Block in Different Sizes Here's how the Gazebo block looks in three sizes using different fabric collections: - **6-inch block:** Kimberly sewed this using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics. - **3-inch block:** Gina Tell made this with Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics. - **9-inch block:** Pat Sloan pieced this using Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics.
