2018 QUBE QAL block 16

qal block16 hummingbird

Block #16 this week is the humming bird block.

It’s such a fun and easy block with the QUBE angles set!

(if you don’t have the angles set, see alternate block later in the post)

-or you might have the hummingbird as a separate die?

For this block you’ll use fabrics B and D and

dies #14 and 15

with B and D fabrics cut out 2 + 2 reversed on die #14 (so one set right side UP and one set right side DOWN)

also cut out 2 of each B and D with die #15 (kite)

(I used fabric E instead of D on this 6” version, I was just tired of the plaid)

Then sew the triangles to opposite colored kite shapes, iron seams open.
