June Mini Madness - 2021 Block 6

 Today's block is similar to yesterday's block, this one I am just calling Grid.  Four patches and some rectangles make for quick sewing.

You will need your dark, medium and background fabrics for this block.

For the four inch block you will need one 1 x 9 inch strip of background and medium fabrics and two of dark fabric.  You will also need four 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 rectangles of dark fabric.

For the six inch block you will need one 1 1/4 x 11 inch strip each of backround and medium fabrics and two of the dark fabric.  You will also need four 2 x 3 1/2 inch rectangles of dark fabric.

Sew a background and a medium strip to the dark strips.

Cut each strip set into eight strips 1 (1 1/4) inches wide, and sew these together to make four 4-patch units from each strip set.

Set aside two sets of 4-patch units of each for the corners, and use the remaining ones to make the center square, with the medium and background squares forming an x through the center of the block. 

Arrange as shown and sew together to complete block.

I just love this dark purple...so pretty!

Two blocks, one in four inch and one in six inch size!

Here's the video:

Enjoy!  We are already almost a week in, already - hard to believe.  See you on Monday with block number 7!
