Block #9

Made it just under the gun. Sorry I didn't get this one out until the end of the month. Last one folks. Are you ready?

You'll need three different colors from your "blocks" fabric for this block, so select three and designate them #1, #2, and #3.

You'll need:
Eight 5" squares of background fabric
Four 5" squares of fabric #1 (Grey)
Two 5" squares of fabric #2 (Floral)
Two 5" squares of fabric #3 (Zig Zag)



Using the directions from this blog post, use the above fabrics to make 16 half square triangles. Arrange them as seen in this picture.



Sew them together into four rows


And sew the rows together, matching up corners, to get the finished block



Nine down! That's it. Blocks done. Next month will be about the assembly of the quilt. See you then.
