Nebula Block of the Month - Block 8





Welcome to Block 8 of the  Nebula Block of the Month sew along. In the Block 8 video Julie reviews the fabric to use to make the blocks, where to find the guidance for cutting the block pieces, & where to find her tips for sewing the blocks together.
 
-Cutting videos: Cutting for Block 8 is done with the Super Sidekick ruler or the Sidekick ruler.
-Piecing video: Piecing the units of Block 8 is similar to piecing for Rock Candy
-Piecing video: Piecing the Jawbreaker triangles together is similar to piecing the units in Block 8 together.
-Piecing tip: The hang pin technique will come in handy for sewing the rows together to create the blocks

After you finish sewing, share a photo on Instagram and use the hashtag #NebulaQuilt to show us your blocks. We would also love to see your progress posted and shared in our community Facebook Group.
