Block of the Month 2015…
Block 2 is DONE!
We are working on block two of this quilt…
Here is the comparison with the solid version… doesn’t this look SO different?
I used this block 2 color diagram for keeping me on track with my colors and to get a rough draft of my quilting for this block.
General Notes for getting started:
Press your fabric and get out all those folds/wrinkles.
Square or trim your fabric so you have a straight edge to work with.
Remove selvages before you begin.
Test your 1/4″ seam for accuracy.
Carefully press as you go with a dry iron and avoid dragging your iron around on your pieced unit to keep from distorting any bias edges.
Ok! Let’s get going! Get your pattern and cut all your pieces.
For step 1 place two A squares right sides together and draw a diagonal line down center of your top square, we are making some half square triangles…
Sew down both sides of line using 1/4″ seam.
Cut on center line ~
Press two half square triangles open and make your second set (for your 4 corner blocks).
Next, for C/B blocks, place long edge of C piece on short edge of B piece.
Press
Repeat on opposite side…
Press open and repeat for second set

I love how easy it is to quilt one block at a time!!
I think I’m a bit addicted to this method.
