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.
Visit the
free pattern page on my website
to download the pattern for this project. Enjoy!
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"
