It’s May 1st and we know what that means….another Sugar Block! Today club members will find the pattern for this cute block in their inbox.
I’m calling it “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” after my favorite Stevie Wonder song, and because I think it looks like envelopes…containing mushy love letters, of course. :) I am always amazed at the seemingly endless array of blocks to be made from a simple nine patch. Throw in a few half square triangles and some flying geese, and you’ve got something completely striking and fun. I also really love how the fabric choices really add dimension as well.
This is the fifth block in this year’s Sugar Block Club monthly series (late-comers, not to fret- you can still sign up).
I’m not typically one for solids, but I really dig how this is coming together! It feels like coloring with a brand new box of crayons- fresh, untouched colors on a crisp white sheet of paper. I’m already brainstorming about how I’m going to quilt it. Hmmmmm….I know the quilting is really going to show more than it would on print fabrics, so I need to be choosy. Might need to revisit Leah’s Quilting A Sampler class!
How are you all coming along with your blocks? Doing ok? Having fun? I hope so!

Ohhhh…I am loving the looks of this block!!!! Can’t wait to make it. :-)
So happy and cheery!! Love it!
These all look so gorgeous together. Wow!
This is a clever little block, with the envelope theme. Since it always takes me a couple of days to choose which of my fabrics to use, I may be late getting this one done, but I am soooo ready for a vacation, May 8-28th, woohoo. Of course I will be taking a little project with me that you have inspired.
Your solid blocks had me intimidated for a bit. I just wasn’t sure what direction to go with my prints. But, last month I jumped in and I really like how the first 4 blocks look. I’m excited to try this month’s!
Hi Amy! I’m so happy to be part of the Sugar Block Club! I’m a bit late but, can’t wait to show my blocks! I’m also trying to email you, but it seems the button on the right side of the bar is not working. Thanks!
I am having so much fun! I am using the solid colors and love them!
Hi Amy
I love the way that the envelopes jump out. This course is really pushing me to do things that I wouldn’t be able to achieve. The first of the month is so exciting.

Amy, this block is so, so pretty! I can’t wait to get started!
Anddddddd……Done. That was so much easier then it looks and fun…fun…fun!!!! Woot!
This is super cute.
Love the block and the colors!
Okay, this block has made me fall right into the sugar bowl with everyone else! Not that the other blocks aren’t beautiful, but I just love this one! So I’m a late subscriber but a happy one :) Where can I find that bright and beautiful bundle of solids you are using? I’d like to try going all solids too. Thank you so much!
This block is so cute! I have loved all the blocks so far and I can’t wait to get started on this one.
I can’t wait to see this block in my fabric. May is a super crazy month so I am not sure when that will happen. Have you moved yet? May will probably be super crazy for you too!
Hi Amy,
Love the blocks but no time to do them. I am almost finished with my first quilt.
Really like the block!!
I just finished Aprils block, only had to rip 1 seam when I realized after sewing it altogether, that my print and solids weren’t alternating. It’s all good now. Had fun with this one, can’t wait to start on May’s…
I’m all caught up! This month was loads of fun…
I just signed up! I’m a little late but I cant wait to get started!!
I am loving all the blocks! I have shocked myself by staying caught up!!! I have a place to hang the final project! … hopefully a beautiful Christmas gift to ME~!!!!!
i need a video tutorial for this one. been working on for hours. :-(
Ok maybe I did not need that video after all. Got it done. It is a pretty block
