One Block Wednesday

I hope you have decided to join us for 

One Block Wednesday. If you are just joining

us you can get caught up here and here. Lets get started!

Using a 2" x width of fabric strip, cut the following,

Pictured from left to right with strip folded:

1. 2" x width of fabric strip - 42"

2. From selvage end cut: 2 squares, 2" x 2" and 4 rectangles, 1-1/2" x 2" 

3. Cut remaining 2" strip down to 1-1/2"

4. From 1-1/2" strip cut: 8 squares, 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" and 4 strips, 1-1/2" x 4"

Repeat the same cuts with a light 2" strip. 

Once you have cut all the pieces from a light 

and dark 2" strip you should have the following:

2 dark and light squares, 2" x 2"

4 dark and light rectangles, 1-1/2" x 2"

4 dark and light strips, 1-1/2" x 4"

8 dark and light squares, 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"

This is enough pieces to make 4 One Block Wednesday blocks.

All the information needed to make the blocks is available 

here but sometimes it is easier to have a printed pattern, 

you can download a simple cutting and assembly
instruction sheet with the Buy Now button below. 

There is a minimal fee to cover costs. Thanks!

 Layout and piece the block as diagrammed. 

Press all seams toward dark.

Draw a diagonal line on wrong side of each 1-1/2" square.

Sew on diagonal line, trim leaving 1/4" seam allowance. 

Block should measure 4" including seam allowance

Each week we will make 12 blocks.
At this pace it will take 30 week to
complete a quilt that finishes 60" x 74"
