Shirting’s were a fashion necessity in the late 1800s, used to make
men's shirts and Gibson Girl blouses through the turn of the century.
Traditionally, these were lightweight cotton prints with small,
simple black motifs on a white ground. Today, their low volume
 appearance makes them the perfect pairing for your
favorite dark and medium calicos. I think Everyday Essentials
 will make a great addition to your scrap basket!

Take a closer look at Everyday Essentials here.

So sorry for the previous post with no information. My
work ahead finally caught up with me. I didn't want you
to miss out so here you go.

This months mini is one of my all time favorites. 
What is it about little squares! I hand pieced this one and
had a great time. I still think I prefer machine piecing but
 doing it by hand is a nice change of pace. 
If you are interested in making one of you own and you
don't have the 2024 Mini-a-Month Postcard Collection
yet you can order one here. 

If you have been keeping up with our Potholder Project
You now have enough little cuties to connect a few rows. 
I use a ladder stitch on the back to do this. Here is a
tutorial that I found that is really easy to follow. 

  Patchwork Potholder Project - Block Eleven
=  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =
from pink print, cut:
4 squares, 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"
4 squares, 2-1/8" x 2-1/8"
4 strips, 1-1/4" x 5-1/2"
from light print, cut:
4 squares, 1-3/4" x 1-3/4"
1 square, 3-11/16 x 3-11/16 
1 square, 3" x 3"
4 squares, 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"

Making the block

1. Using 3-11/16" and 2-1/8" light and pink squares make four

flying geese units. Click here for flying geese tutorial.
Your blocks should measure 1-3/4" x 3", including
seam allowances. 

2. Sew pink 1-1/4" squares diagonally to each corner
of the 3" light square. Trim seam allowance and press. 

3. Using flying geese, light 1-3/4" squares and light center,
layout star in three rows of three units. Sew the units in each
 row together. Join the rows alternating seams at intersections.

4. Add 1-1/4" x 5-1/2" pink strips to each side of block. Sew
1-1/4" light square to each end of remaining 5-1/2" pink 
strips and add to top and bottom of block.  

5. Layer block, batting and back together. Machine or hand 
quilt. Important note - Once your block is quilted trim to 
6-1/2" square. Bind using single thickness binding.
