Rainbow Quilt Block of the Month Block 11

Welcome back to the Rainbow Quilt Block of the Month designed by Janome Maker Carolina Oneto! You are almost through the whole quilt! 

 RainbowBOM11

This month we will make our eleventh block. Carolina sews all the blocks on her Janome 1600P-QC. She recommends you to use a stitch length between 2.0 and 2.2, but this sewing machine is capable of stitch length variable up to a maximum of 6mm!

Remember that all the blocks will have a finished size of 12” so that means the unfinished size will be 12 1/2”
