Once all your sections are complete, assemble according to the gray arrows first, then the numbered arrows.

I've been stitching up a quilt I can't quite share yet, so I haven't had a chance to stitch up my Pikachu. I'll come back and add a photo of him when he's complete, and add the PDF link. I just wanted to be sure to get this post up for those of you that are eager to get your next block together. :) Here's a pic of Pikachu all diced up. He's a lot of work and lots of pieces, but I think he's my favorite block b/c he's so recognizable. When done, you should have a 20 1/2" block, 20" finished when stitched into your quilt.


I hope you have fun stitching him up! Don't forget to come find us on Instagram and use the hashtags #pokemonquilt and/or #pokemonfridays if you post your blocks so everyone can find them! :D And tag me so I can see! @kellifanninquilts If you're just happening onto these blocks, you can see all of the blocks and info by clicking *HERE*, or on the sewalongs tab in the top menu bar up there, or by clicking the button in the right side bar. There's also a sew along group on my FB page if you'd like to see blocks from this and other free sew alongs. (Minecraft & Harry Potter)

Thanks for dropping in! Have a great weekend and Happy Stitching!!

Assemble the block according to the following diagram.


You should have a 20 1/2" sq. Pokeball block! (20" finished when sewn into quilt.)

I'm going to be working on my block today and hopefully have it posted on Instagram by this afternoon. I will edit it in here when it's done and provide the PDF download link to this post. It is all cut out, and partially assembled so the numbers all look correct.

Thanks for your patience!

*edit: My block is done!





If you're sewing along, and you instagram, don't forget to tag your photos with #pokemonfridays and #pokemonquilt and come find me @kellifanninquilts. And tag your Pokemon loving friends! ;) I'll be figuring out the sashing soon, too for those of you who want to sash some of the blocks you have done so far. When I get it figured out, I'll post it on the sew along page. If you're just happening onto these blocks, you can find them all on the Pokemon sew along page *HERE*, or by clicking the button in the right side bar, or the sewalongs tab in the top menu bar. If you'd like to see blocks from the other sew alongs (Minecraft & Harry Potter), come join the sew along group on my FB page.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend and Happy Stitching!
