Okay, so over the weekend, we got a buyer for our home! We went back and forth a couple times, but we settled on a number that everyone was happy with! Now I'm homeless! :)
I'm sure we'll find something shortly. We've looked at several places, and I really liked the last one we looked at, but we're having problems with the seller. So, now it's just a waiting game to see what the seller wants to do.
Okay, so let's get down to business! We're going into week four of the quilt-along! I hope everyone is coming along nicely. Don't forget that if you get stuck, have any questions, etc. just shoot me an email. I always respond within 24 hours, and most days it's much less than that.
So, for this tutorial you will need the following -
In a background print -
2 squares, 2 7/8" each
12 squares, 2 1/2" each
8 rectangles, 2 1/2"x4 1/2" each
In a plaid print -
2 squares, 2 7/8" each
4 rectangles, 2 1/2"x4 1/2" each
For the main two colors, from each -
4 squares, 2 1/2" each
2 squares, 2 7/8" each
Using your 2 7/8" background squares and your pink plaid 2 7/8" squares, make four half-square-triangles.
With your two main color (mine being the pink dot and the blue dot) 2 7/8" squares, make four more half-square-triangles.
Now, take your plaid rectangles and your 2 1/2" background squares and make four flying geese units.
To make these units, I sew each square on separately. Meaning, I sew on one square, trim and flip it, then repeat for the other side.
With your background rectangles and your main color 2 1/2" squares, make four more flying geese units, using the same method.
For assembly of the block, you will take your main-color HST's (half-square-triangles) and make a pinwheel. This will be the center of your block.
Arrange the units of your block like this -
Sew together.
Add your 2 1/2" border.
And you're done! I really like this one :). Probably one of my favorites, so far!
Hopefully, we will have some good news in the house-hunting department, later this week!
