This is the last step for the blocks - after this one you will have all of them prepared. On Monday ( because I have NO patience) I will show you the layouts . YES Layouts.... there are actually two different ways to lay this quilt out..... so Bonus!!!
Ready?
Block 4
This next block is a simple Half Square – it will measure 9 ½ by 9 ½ inches. You need 12 blocks total.
Cutting Instructions:
Blue: Cut 2 rows ( wof) 10 inches wide. Sub Cut into 6 – 10 in squares
Red: Cut 2 rows ( wof) 10 inches wide. Sub-cut into 6 10 in squares
You will take the Blue and draw a diagonal line down the center of it ( just like you did in the stars)
Stitch ¼ inch away from the line on BOTH sides. Then Slice down the line, and press open. You will then have 12 blocks. I pinned mine since they are such big squares:
Block 5
You will need 24 of these.
Cutting Instructions:
Blue: Cut 6 9 ½ inch strips. Sub cut each strip into 4 - 9 ½ inch blocks
There you go!!! See you Monday Morning for the reveal!!!
So far so good right?????
Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited and caught up on every step so far. After I finish this step the pieces will be put away for 10 days until my sister gets here for a visit. We will sew the blocks together and have our fourth year in a row QOV done. We love working on projects together but we live 400 miles apart. We are happy to be dedicating this one to Josh!
Blessings to you and them.🇺🇸

I am almost done with the earlier steps, just need to finish a few more stars.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I have enough of my blue fabric & might have to substitute another blue for the last group of blocks.
