Week 3: The Quilt Block That Steals the Show

Sarah Taylor · 2026-10-26

Week three of the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along is here, and we're getting scrappy—literally. We're piecing together the Patchwork Quilt block, the block that adds that cozy, scrappy charm to the quilt. If you missed week two, we worked on the Sewing Machine block to create the cute centerpiece. But don't worry if you're behind; there's still plenty of time to catch up. ### What You Need to Make the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Haven't gathered your supplies yet? No stress.

It's a sweet little quilt block that looks like a miniature quilt, complete with tiny patchwork squares and a border. It's a fun one to piece because you can use up your scraps and make it totally unique. Plus, it adds that "quilter's touch" to the overall design—like a quilt within a quilt.
