You might all remember that I am the Coordinator for QOV in Colorado. The group I stitch with (ok, ME!!) really wants to use up our scraps and get more quilts made. So Each month I will introduce a scrappy block. If you want to join in with us and stitch away - I would love it!
If you only want to make a few blocks and join in with us - we welcome that too!!
here is January's Block:

2016 QOV Scrappy Block
Pull
out your 2 ½ inch Strip Scraps – and
let’s Dig in!
For
this Block you will need 6 – 2 ½ x 6 ½ inch strips and 3 – 2 ½ x 12 ½ inch
strips
Stitch the 2 ½ x 6 ½ inch strips into 2 sets of 3.
Stitch the 2 ½ x 12 ½ inch strips into 1 set of 3
The two layouts
are below – Choose which one you like. Stitch your 6 ½ inch units together –
then stitch to the 12 ½ inch units! And
you have a 12 ½ inch x 12 ½ inch block~!

Cite block! Looks like a great chance to dig into the 2.5 inch strip bin
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block for using up scrap strips.
ReplyDeleteGreat scrap block. It certainly makes a pretty QOV.
ReplyDeleteSo I have a couple of questions. Are you collecting these blocks to make into QOV quilts? If so I would love to join in. Also do you have certain colors in mind. Do you like to stick to red/white/blue/gold?
ReplyDeleteH! I've made you a dozen of these blocks and need the address to send them.
