Birthstone Blocks by MJ Kinman are stunning... and fun to make!
Create your own sparkling gem using the same single-foundation piecing techniques that MJ uses to create her giant gem portraits.
Each pattern includes pre-printed and ready-to-cut and use freezer paper templates for the block pieces, life-size paper block layout keys, detailed assembly instructions, and detailed fabric requirements including recommendations (with fabric color codes) from Paintbrush Studio's Painter's Palette fabric line.
Also available - save yourself the trouble and have more time to make your blocks with Birthstone Block Bundles by Paintbrush Studio! Each 100% cotton fat quarter bundle includes all of the fabric colors you need to make the corresponding block.
We recommend an Add-A-Quarter Ruler too!
To make the quilt, you cut apart the freezer paper template that is provided with the pattern and iron the pieces to the fabric before cutting around them with an additional quarter-inch seam allowance. The Add-A-Quarter makes this super easy!
