Sunny Patches BOM: Sunny Square in a Square Block
It’s time for the next block in our Sunny Patches BOM. Isn’t this a fun one! It’s the Sunny Square in a Square block.
Before we dive into this block, I wanted to announce the winner of my solids/panel/Lemon Meringue pattern giveaway. =)
The winner is Linda Stone who said:
Corey, thank you for the inspiring videos and tutorials! They are the highlight of my week!
I have a layer cake of Sugarcreek in woven. Would you please recommend a project for these?
I’ve never used woven before and I am intimidated by them.
I’ve sent you an email Linda. =) To answer your question: I shared about the quilt patterns I designed for my Sugarcreek wovens here (Pound Cake is a layer cake pattern) & I shared about the quilt patterns I designed for Sugarcreek that mix together quilting cottons and wovens here.
(Beholden 2 & Happy Scrappy Baskets are also layer cake patterns but would require 2 layer cakes). I shared a post about sewing with wovens here.
Sugarcreek Wovens
It’s easy to be intimidated by something we’ve not tried before so I hope this information is helpful for you as well as for others!
Now, onto today’s new block for the Sunny Patches BOM:
Today’s block is the Sunny Square in a Square block. You’ll find the PDF pattern available here.
The video tutorial for this block is available to watch today. I shared quite a bit of extra information that you might find helpful when making this block so be sure not to miss the video!
I also mocked up the Square in a Square block into a quilt layout digitally (using Sunwashed fabrics) so you could see what it might look like if you wanted to use just the one block in a quilt.
In this image, I used one print plus the background per block. I think it would make a very pretty quilt…and I really like the addition of the border around each block.
If you are new to the Sunny Patches Block of the month, you will find the fabric requirements here, an introduction post here, the 1st block here, 2nd block here, the 3rd block here, and the 4th block here.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! Corey

Corey, I never thought about using the square in a square with 2 different background corners (middle block top row). I’ve thought of all the same, or each different. Talk about feeling silly with not thinking of 2 different ones. This is a GAME CHANGER for me. THANKS!!!
I love this block, and your fabric choices are the best!!
This is my favorite block so far for this quilt. I have been trying to decide on a block for my first barn quilt and I think I’ve found it!
I love ❤️ this block. I’m going to make a queen quilt and try to make pillow cases to match. Thanks for making this video and sharing this block with us all.
Oh phooey! And I just ook my sewing machine in to be serviced! Maybe I’ll just have to make this block by hand. Lovin’ it!
Hi Corey, I thought of you when I was recently in Shipshewana, at Yoders store. So many gorgeous fabrics!!
I enjoy your emails and quilt blocks so much; thank you for making them available to the public. I LOVE this block! It will look so cute in many colors and fabrics : ) i can’t wait to get started on it.
I hope you know how much your work is enjoyed by so many sewers! Keep up the fun and excellent work! With thanks, Sara
Just discovered your website and as a novice quilter I LOVE IT!!
