cut 4 squares 4.5" from the background fabric
cut 5 squares 2.5" from a printed fabric
cut 5 squares 2.5" from a contrast fabric
cut 5 rectangles 2.5" x 4.5" from the same contrast fabric
layout as shown
sew together with a 1/4" seam allowance
and your block is done.
It should measure 12.5" square.
I think this is my favorite block so far.
What is your favorite block?
I hope you all are enjoying this as much as I am.
As always, thanks for quilting along with me!
oooo. i like it already! gonna get started now. thank you so much for doing this. are you gonna do another one? (hint, hint ;) )
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely my fav so far,too! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another winner. I think my favorite block is week 4. Think that would make neat extra pinwheels if used as a one block quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis one is really cute. My fav is block 3. My first triangles and I'm so proud of it! Thanks again for the quilt-along. I've learned sooo much.
ReplyDeleteI think this may be my favorite block too! So cute. And I'm happy to see a two-color block because I have to work one of my single color fabrics into another block to "tie together" the whole thing. I can't believe it's week 10 already!
ReplyDeleteit's SO cute! I like it alot!
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I'm not as scared or afraid of triangles anymore - so that's something, right? :)
I think I like this one most of all!! I love your fabric choices. Will get going on mine soon - don't know if it will be done this week, or may have to wait until we get home next week.
ReplyDeleteI got caught up today by doing weeks 7, 8 and 9. Now I have another!! Yahoo! I couldn't tell you which one I like best. They are all so nice. I am beginning to try and think of finishing ideas now!!
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooo much for sharing the quilt along, I have saved this for a future time. Heather is awesome as a newby quilter. I cannot believe you do all your quilting on a sewing machine and not a longarm, you are very clever, makes me believe I can do the same. Thanks for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching
This is fresh and interesting. I can picture it looking effective in a variety of colourways.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that weeks 5 or 6 are my favorite but I love them all. I can't thank you enough for doing this. I was just thinking I will have enough to do my borders in the pink floral with a small inner border and sashings from the soft green. This is gonna be a beautiful quilt and I have you to thank for the patterns. JoyB
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I am up to date again (at least with my black and white set). I think my favourite block so far is No. 7, why I don't know! Maybe it just went together well.
ReplyDeleteJodie
today I sew no9 and 10 and will be uptodate :-))too, no.10 would make a great baby quilt block with "I spy" pieces, will try.....
ReplyDeleteI really like this one too. And hooray for no triangles!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite block. Just by the looks of it. Although I really did like block 3 I think that's the right one. Anyway, thanks for doing this it really is alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHeathe .. Take that back LOl Block 3 was the pinwheel and the only one I had to do twice LOl JoyB
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but I have never seen this block before. I can't wait to work on it this evening.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I opened this and started scrolling down I said to myself "I think this is my favorite block so far, I wonder what it is called." Really. I love this and I love the fabric choices you made for it. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love the fabrics you used for this block and the simple design, Amandajean. Hmmm... Block 10 and Block 8 are my favourites so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for doing the quilt-a-long, I really hope you'll consider leading another one.
As I was scrolling and reading I thought, "this might be my favorite square/block" I love seeing what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteThis block is lovely
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite block was week 4 and week 7
Will get this done this evening
I am doing two of each block
I love the colors in this one...
ReplyDeleteI love this block!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I am so happy about finding this blog!!! I'm a pretty new quilter & have recently gotten crazy interested in 1930's fabrics. I really want to make the quilt-along you have been posting. Also, I don't have very many 1930's prints so if you ever have scraps you aren't using I'd love for you to fling them my way!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect fabric to go make this block, I must have been reading your mind. Making the block now!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors that you used in this block.
ReplyDeleteIt´s difficult to choose the favourite, because I like all of them. Perhaps I like the 6th blck. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOM Goodness! I'm caught up before the next block is posted :)
ReplyDeleteI love week 4's block the best. But they've all been so much fun to make. I've been playing with layouts to see what colors I need to add in the last 2 weeks :)
AManda Jean thanks so much for doing this for us - I really enjoy this weekly blocks......
I think fav so far is #8. I love the look of the pinwheels but since I haven't made that one yet I won't pick it! :)
ReplyDelete#10 is very pretty too! I completed it today and posted a pick on my blog!
I will be soooooo sad when this quilt along is over!!!
