I have chosen this big
(16") block.
Last year I asked my hive mates to make me one in the colors red-pink-purple-lilac.
I received only blocks in the pink-purple-lilac spectrum hahahaha.
The only red block was the one I made myself for the tutorial.
So a new hive, new chances :-)
I would like the colors for these blocks
to be RED-PINK- in all their shades.
Also a LOW VOLUME background is what I want for this block.
Now on to the cutting
directions:
Cut 4 Low Volume Square blocks each measuring 5″ x 5″
Cut 2 RED blocks each measuring 5″ x 5″
Cut 2 PINK blocks each measuring 5″ x 5″
Cut 3 RED blocks each measuring 4.5″ x 4.5″
Cut 3 PINK blocks each measuring 4.5″ x 4.5″
Cut 2 Low Volume Blocks each measuring 4.5″ x 4.5″
Sewing Instructions:
Draw a diagonal line on the 4 Low Volume 5x5 squares. Place them right
sides together on a RED and PINK 5x5"block, stitch 1/4"
besides this line on both sides of the line. Cut the line and you have 8 Half
Square Triangles.
(Using 2 Low Volume and the 2 RED squares together make 4 half
square triangles)
(Using 2 Low Volume and the 2 PINK squares together make 4 half
square triangles)
Trim each half square triangle block to a 4.5″ x 4.5″ square.
Lay out
all the HST and the remaining squares according to the image below.
Sew each
row together to make the block.
And you're
done!
I make 'Droomdekentjes' , comfort blankets for children who are sick or who are in a not so nice place in their life.
I will mix your blocks with the blocks I received last year and make two Droomdekentjes :-)
