Week 3 of the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along Gets Scrappy

Robert Wilson · 2026-10-26

Week three of the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along is here, and things are getting delightfully scrappy. This time around, we're piecing together the Patchwork Quilt block, which adds that charming, collected-over-time feel to the project. If you missed week two, don't worry. We worked on the Sewing Machine block to create the cute centerpiece that anchors the whole quilt. Keep reading for the complete supplies list and to find out how you can share your Sewing Machine Love with us on social media. ### What You Need to Make the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Haven't gathered your supplies yet? Good news: there's still plenty of time to sew along. This project perfectly captures a quilter's love for their sewing machine and the love quilters share through the projects they make together. Finishing at a cute 46.5 inches by 58.5 inches, this pictorial quilt features the Bloomsberry collection by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics. It's a warm, inviting palette that makes the sewing-machine motif feel right at home. Here's everything you'll need, all listed in the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Pattern: - Sewing Machine Love Quilt Kit - Sewing Machine Love Backing Set - Sewing Machine Love Downloadable PDF Pattern (a shop exclusive) - Sewing Machine Love Binding Keeper (a shop exclusive) If you're piecing as you go, double-check your fabric cuts before you sit down at the machine. A few extra minutes of prep now saves a whole lot of seam ripping later. ### Why the Patchwork Block Matters The Patchwork Quilt block is where the story really starts to come together. It nods to the scrappy quilts many of us grew up with, the ones made from leftover bits and beloved prints. Piecing it this week gives the quilt its personality and ties the centerpiece to the rest of the design. > "Every scrap you sew into this block is a little piece of your own quilting story." Take your time with your seams and press as you go. Small habits like these make a big difference in how flat and crisp the finished top turns out. ### Join Us for the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along It's not too late to join the fun.
