This week’s block is a 1 1/4 block or 5/4 block (Ha! I’m good at math huh??)
It’s called Sister’s choice and is easy to make with just 2 dies from the regular qube set
#2 and #5 dies
and you’ll use all 5 fabrics!
-if you’re using scraps, then using directional fabrics for any of the #2 shapes would work great!!
with fabric A cut (1) of #2
with fabric B cut (8) of #5
with fabric C cut out (8) of #2
with fabric D cut out (4) of #2
with fabric E cut out (4) of #2 AND (8) of #5
I started with the fabric for die #2 and laid them on the die at the same time and cut out as much as possible at one time
Then cut out the #5 pieces at once as well
Then sew the #5 triangles together (B and E fabrics) iron the seams OPEN
at this point I laid out the pieces how the block should look before sewing pieces together
Then I sewed the rows together
and then the rows together to complete the block like this
Here’s my 4 versions together
the 8” version is FUNKY with these Tula pink FQ fabrics!
and the 12” batik version I used some great directional fabrics too!
Have fun!
Happy National Quilting day!
Here’s block 11 from last week’s participants
They are all great and people are scratching their heads trying to figure out HOW it’ll go together…. he he, not giving anything away yet, there’s 40 blocks including the border blocks, so a long way to go still!
