We have such a pretty block this week – the 2025 RBD Block Challenge Block 11 is the Crown Jewel Block!
Sandy Gervais designed this pretty block with such a cool design! I love the variation on the star block, with the different points and the ability to fussy cut the center piece. You know I just had to add a little birdie in there!
I’m sewing along this year with my Melody fabric collection, and for this block, I kept the fabrics pretty simple. I used my navy main print, the yellow baskets print, and the navy bird print. I chose a yellow bird on the bird print to tie in with the yellow section. I love how they look together!
Here are all my blocks in the sew along so far!
- Block 1: Bloom and Grow
- Block 2: Around the Corner
- Block 3: Rose Among Thorns
- Block 4: Twirl
- Block 5: Flower Patch
- Block 6: Starburst Block
- Block 7: Irish Spring
- Block 8: Bowdacious
- Block 9: Halo Star
- Block 10: Cat in the Corner Block
