Hello, I took a bit of time off and I have gotten back on my feet, slept for days, quilted and just let myself be ! That’s pretty hard for me, but slow and steady is how I have to do things, and it has to be OK. In Florida we get just a few degrees in temperature change for fall, but I have purchased new pencils, Bic pens, have been able to sit out on our lanai and now not swimming in bath water temperature water at the pool. Fall is in the air Florida style.
I want to share the how I do quarter square blocks here, There are many ways to do these, this is the way “I” do them.
Triangles
Sew Good to good fabric, with a pencil draw a line corner to corner, this is
The line you measure your ¼” seam allowance from
Sew from edge to edge use a ¼” seam
Cut in half on the pencil line, trim threads
Open and press to the dark fabric,
There will be 2 blocks
Quarter Square Triangle
Cut 2 squares, 1 each color – your squares need to be cut 1 ¼” larger than the finished size you need, example you need a 4” finished square cut square 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”
On lightest color on the back, pencil mark from corner to corner.
Sew ¼” from the line, on each side of the line.
With scissors cut on each of the center line, open up, now move the match colors, draw a line corner to corner, pin and sew as before, you will have 2 blocks.
For Future Information here is all the cutting sizes which are used the most
