1880 Sampler Sew Along

1880 Sampler Sew Along
+  +  +  +  +  +  +  +
This week we are making half blocks that will
be used on the ends of a few of the rows.
Finished blocks will be 2-1/2" x 4-1/2"

Top block cut the following and sew strips together.
4 | 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" strips

Middle block cut the following and sew together
as diagrammed. If you have a few extra 1-1/2" half
square triangles add them to make it a little quirky
8 | 1-1/2" squares.

Bottom block make 2 half square
triangles using 3" squares. Square to 2-1/2"
(you might have a few leftovers you can use)

Finishing instructions will be posted next week. 

You can find all the details for our 1880 Sampler Sew Along
 and a picture of the inspiration quilt here.

  6. Sheryl, your "artistic" photo with the leaves is hiding parts of the blocks. You say to "cut the following", and there are no "following" measurements! Where did you "fix" it?!?!?

  8. Do we need 8 filler blocks like the inspiration quilt? Surely we need more than 3? thx. PS btw I agree with siamkitty above, it would be very helpful in the future if your photos did not always obscure half of the project each week. [much as I admire your photo artistry].

    3. I set things a little differently to eliminate partial seams. You will see how it all comes together next week.
