I've had a few emails asking for directions for the blocks that I showed on Design Wall Monday, so I thought I would post the measurements that I used. Please remember that these blocks are still in the experimental stage...sew at your own risk!Block 1: Start with a 6" white center square, border the center square with 2 - 2 1/2" x 6" red strips and 2 - 2 1/2" x 10" red strips, followed by 2 - 1 1/2" x 10" blue strips and 2- 1 1/2" x 12" blue strips.
Block 2: Start with a 6" red center square, border the center square with 2 - 1 1/2" x 6" blue strips and 2- 1 1/2" x 8" blue strips, followed by 2 - 2 1/2" x 8" white strips and 2 - 2 1/2" x 12" white strips.
Measure your finished block and find the center measurement. Cut the block in half and then into quarters.Next take two quarters from Block 1 and two quarters from Block 2 to form a new block.
If you put together any of these blocks, send me a photo...I'd love to see them!
Thank you for sharing the instructions...it should be fun to attempt one of these...I must give it a try..(maybe it will only be one block) I am not very brave with new ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe purple gingham on your previous post is so sweet, I am sure the quilt looks wonderful! Linus Project will be thrilled to have your gift of a quilt using the purple in future quilts!
This looks like a lot of fun! And not as complicated as I thought.
ReplyDeleteThe purple gingham fabric below is gorgeous!
I really like the looks of this block...I may have to try this!! If I do, I will send pics.
