As promised yesterday, here is the second block for this week. I missed a week over the Christmas holidays, so it’s only fair that I come to you with an extra block to catch up.
It is quite a simple block, based on thin 1.5″ x 10.5″ strips (I actually cut them to 11″ to give me a little breathing room) subcut into 3.5″ x 3.5″ squares. And just rearranged randomly.
The instructions are all in this pdf: Stripy Squares.
As for yesterday’s block, the crucial thing is to ensure that your seam allowances are exactly 1/4″. Each stripes, once all sewn together, should be 1″ wide.
And here are all my blocks so far:
I’m really pleased with all of them. This weekend, I shall catch up on Jen‘s blocks, and they will be aqua. There.
I’m looking forward to seeing what everybody’s doing!
Hiya!
I’ve blogged my versions of these two now. Did you want to add a link collection thingy?
