And before you know it, it is Tuesday and the Partners in Design are ready to bring you Block 2. April from Janda Bend Quilts is our designer this week. I can’t wait to see what you do with this one as April’s block has some room for a little fun in fabric choices, and embellishments, so look for your campiest fabric and have tons of fun with this one. Now, grab your best quilt retreat fabrics and make your own Glamper or Quilt Retreat Camper!

Patterns are available on the designers blog. As in prior years, the posts go live on our blogs and our Facebook Group at 8 AM, EDT. You can see April’s block here.

We had company this week and I slipped down a rabbit hole, so it may be at least a week before you see my Grand Canyon! However, this week is all about camping and here are some of the other designer’s version. Links to their blogs will bring you to their hints and suggestions for this week’s block! I wish I was going on a quilt retreat to make this adorable camper.

Above are the blocks the hosts made for this week. Do be sure to check out their blogs for hints.
