Hello! Hope you had a lovely weekend, and are ready for another week of block making! Today's block will introduce another technique - Sew and Flip (I say it backwards about half the time, but you definitely have to do the sewing part first). This is New Album:
Cutting:Four inch block: One 2 1/2 inch square dark, four 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles of light, four 1 1/2 inch squares of background and medium.
Six in block: One 3 1/2 inch square dark, four 2 x 3 1/2 inch rectangles of light, four 2 inch squares of background and medium.
Press triangles toward corner of block.
Add remaining to corners to create a diamond in a square (or square in a square) unit.
Lay out block as shown and sew together
That's it for today! Hope you enoy making this simple block - the center is a great spot for some fussy cutting if you like!
Here's the video of making the four inch block:
See you tomorrow with block 8! Oh, and if you would like to download a pdf file with instructions for the first five blocks it is available here:
I'll make the remaining block instructions available as we get through them. Enjoy!
