Anna Schmidt-Müller · 2026-07-10

Welcome back for week 20 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along! We're celebrating our amazing quilting community with another block release. Each week, one of 25 talented designers brings you a new pattern. This week, we're excited to introduce the charming Gazebo block by Doug Leko. ### Meet Doug Leko and the Gazebo Block Doug Leko is the prolific designer behind Antler Quilt Designs. He created the beginner-level Gazebo block using half-square triangles and simple piecing. It's perfect for quilters of all skill levels. 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. The fabric line adds a warm, cozy feel to the block. ### Pattern and Paper Recommendations To make the Gazebo block, you'll need the free PDF pattern and some recommended paper.
