Block finishes 9 inches
I plan to set 9 by 10, so will make 90 blocks for a quilt to finish 81 by 90 inches
Cutting
Solids:
Four rectangles 1 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches
One 3 1/2 inch square
Four triangles cut from 3 1/2 inch strip using the Easy Angle or Bonnie Hunter's essential tool
Prints:
Eight rectangles 1 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches
Four triangles cut from 3 1/2 inch strip using the Easy Angle or Bonnie Hunter's essential tool
Sew together triangles, pressing away from the solid triangle
Sew together rectangles; with two sets, press towards the center solid and with the other two sets, press away from the center solid
Layout block with the vertical stiles pressed away from center rectangle at the top and bottom and the horizontal stiles pressed towards the center rectangle at the sides
Sew into rows
Press triangle rows away from the triangles
Press center row away from the center square
Sew into block, press away from the center row
I will be rotating every other block when I put together the top so all seams will nest.
My directions for a traditional block. Use at your pleasure.
I've acquired still more solids....this looks like a great way to use some of them!
