Fabric Cafe You Tube Channel Sew-alongs

 The Fabric Cafe are responsible for the 3 Yard Quilts books.  This is a series of books which take three one yard cuts of a dark, a medium and a light for each pattern to make a quilt.  They also have a You Tube channel which I have to admit is a guilty pleasure.  There they detail other kits which you can buy to make featured quilts.  They give you a lot of ideas of the same quilt pattern with different colourways for different effects; and whilst I admit that I haven't actually bought any of their books yet (because I would rather spend my scarce money on fabric) I find it interesting how all the presenters seem to have a signature style.  I find it sparks my ideas for the colours in my own quilts for when I can't find precuts and want to use yardage.

Whilst browsing on the home page I found they have some sew-a-longs so here they are all in one place.

Red Fish /Duck and Ducklings Block

 The  first iteration of this block came to my attention under the name red fish, after a bit of searching I also found some alternate variations under the block name of duck and ducklings.  Choose the video from Brenda or the written instructions from Generations quilt patterns.  Brenda's is a set size but you can see how it is sewn, the Generations one comes in three sizes 5, 7 1/2  and 10 inches.  Both of these use an uneven 5x5 grid for the construction; for a variation that uses the even grid (and for more colour variations) go to this post here.

 It is by a lovely lady to whom I subscribe on YouTube Brenda @ Conquering Mount Scrapmore who talks to groups for free and offers several FREE blocks each and every week (which I think are her own designs...) along with some sew alongs in the past.  The video description contains all the cutting instructions.  She definitely deserves more subscribers than she has!
