Broken Panes Quilt Along - Block Assembly

It seems like we just started the Broken Panes Quilt Along hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen.  But yet here we are so close to having a finished quilt top.

It's time to add the background strips to the strip set units.

Chain piecing makes quick work of making these small blocks.

But it's very important to follow the pattern and sew the background strip to the right side of each colour.

Head over to Jen's blog to see how she keeps her chain pieced units stitched together until she presses the seam.

Sixteen of these mini blocks are sewn together to make the larger block.

I'm making the small size, so I only had four large blocks to make.

Next week, we'll be piecing the blocks together into a finished quilt top.  There's still time to join in if you're interested.
