June Mini Madness: Block 14 Spool

Well done, we made it through week 2!  I'm going to end this week with a fun block that looks like a spool of thread!
This one uses four half square triangles, and squares arranged to make this distinctive shape that we all know well!

For a 3 inch block, cut two 1 7/8 squares (cut in half diagonally) and three 1 ½ square of blue.  Cut two 1 7/8 (cut in half diagonally) and two 1 ½ inch squares of background fabric.

For a 6 inch block, cut two 2 7/8 squares (cut in half diagonally) and three 2 ½ square of blue.  Cut two 2 7/8 (cut in half diagonally) and two 2 ½ inch squares of background fabric.

Sew four 1 ½ inch (2 ½ inch for 6 inch blocks) half square triangle units with blue/white triangles.  Arrange in a nine patch as shown and sew together.

If you've made it this far, you are doing great!  Tomorrow we'll be half way to the finish line, so you deserve a pat on the back and a "Well Done!"


So, I'm going to spread some love and give out another bundle of fabric!  These are scraps from my Fancy Feathers quilt made with the Eclectic Garden Line by Island Batik.  Show me you completed block(s) from this week and I'll draw for a winner on Thursday again!  These purples, blues and greens are so lovely I know you will find something fun to make out of them.

If you need help with your entry, let me know!  I'll be happy to add your photo for  you, so everyone can see your progress.

I can't find your InLinks site. I don't have a blog to link with. How do I email a picture to you? I am really enjoying this project - reminds me of how much I like working with small blocks.
