Snapshots Sew Along - Block 1 - Let Them Eat Cake

Great news, the first pattern for the Fat Quarter Shop's Snapshots Sew Along is available!  The wait is finally over.


The first block is named Let Them Eat Cake.

Here is my finished block.



The pattern uses a green print fabric for the cake stand but I substituted the pink fabric from an earlier Bonnie and Camille line for my cake stand, because if I really had a cake stand it would be pink.

I cut and pieced this block in an afternoon, the directions were easy to follow and the block easy to piece.

Kimberly at the Fat Quarter Shop has released a video tutorial for this block. Link to video, click here.

 The Let Them Eat Cake pattern is available here.  Link to pattern, click here.

The pattern is a free download, but the Fat Quarter Shop is asking for a donation of at least $5 for the pattern to St. Jude Children's Hospital.   Link to donation page, click here.
