Step 3

For this step you need to cut 1 1/2 strip of you stashing fabric and also 1 1/2 inch squares.


Now you can leave it as is or you can add an outside border. I am just leaving it as is . Hope you have enjoyed this quilt along and if you do decide to make one please send me a link as I would love to see it :)

Issues

Sorry everyone who might be following my quilt along. It seems my camera is not in the mood to talk to my computer at the moment. I am working on getting this fixed and as soon as I do the last step will be posted. Thanks for understanding

Step 3

Sorry about the wait for the last step, blogger wouldn't let me post :( Anyways take 2 of your flying geese units and sew to either end of your 4 patch.


To your other flying geese units sew your 1 1/2 inch background squares. Sew these to either side of your unit.


Now your block is all put together. Just trim to 4 1/2 inches :) Nice simple block. I will give ya'll time to put together 12 of these. I should be back tonight or tomorrow morning with step 4. You will need about 1/2 yard of fabric for step 4. Remember to see all of the post in this quilt along to click on the tag Mini Quilt along.

Step 1 :)

For each block you need to cut
(4) 1 1/2 inch squares of background fabric , (4) 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles of background fabric, (1) strip 1 1/2 x at least 4 1/2 inches of colour 1, (1) strip 1 1/2 x at least 4 1/2 inches of colour 2, (8) 1 1/2 inch squares of colour 3.
You will need to cut enough for 9 blocks. I am making mine all scrappy but feel free to make yours more controlled if you like.

This is what your blocks will look like. Sewing instructions to come in a min. Blogger is being a bit of a pain at the moment.

Step 2

Take your 1 1/2 x 4 1/2 strip and sew together


Cut into (2) 1 1/2 inch slices

Sew into a 4 patch


Now grab your 1 1/2 inch colour 3 squares and your 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch background rectangles. You can either draw or eyeball a sewing line.


Press open and then add the other side


Now you have 4 flying geese units. As you can see from the photo I ran out of the deep red , so I just cut another red. I think it will add to the charm of the quilt. After all our ancestor made do :)

Mini Quilt Along

So while hunting for my quilting hoop this morning I came across my suitcase full of repo fabric. I decided that I really need to put a dent in it , well a little dent. I have decided to host a quilt along.
Keep a eye on the blog I will be posting step one in a little bit !
