October Block!
A quick one with 2.5 strips!
Materials needed: 2 precut 2.5 strips (or 2.5 strips WOF)
Color combination:
Think floral and bright! I am making a charity quilt using some old 2.5 strips and your blocks will help to change up the current yellow, purple and blue theme I have right now.
Cutting:
Cut each strip into 4 rectangles 2.5 by 6.5 inches and 4 rectangles 2.5 by 3.5 inches.
Construction:
Sew 2 contrasting 2.5 by 3.5 rectangles together, short ends together. Sew 2.5 by 6.5 rectangle to the top of this unit and a contrasting 2.5 by 6.5 inch rectangle to the bottom (picture)
Repeat to make 4 identical units (picture).
Sew the units rotated as shown into a block.
Finished 12 by 12 inches.
Easy block!
Thank you for your patience as I completed this tutorial. I was going to use a tutorial from several years backs and could not find it!
I hope this block is quick for you and your October is glorious! It has been a beautiful fall here in VA so far!
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Meghan
