Welcome to our 12th (and final) Around the World Block of the Month + Quilt Sew Along location! If you haven’t signed up yet for the Around the World BOM and still want to make this travel and architecture themed quilt it’s not too late! You can still get all of the quilt block patterns & bonus materials here.
This month’s block brings us to Australia.
Located on the Sydney Harbor, the iconic Sydney Opera House opened in 1973. The design of the building started as an international design competition, with Danish architect Jørn Utzon being awarded the project.
Let’s get started!
Here are some tips as you piece your Sydney block. If you need a little bit of extra help with foundation paper piecing, be sure to check out this video tutorial/mini-class.
