Sampler Sew-a-Long Block #16

Here is the final block in this scrappy sew-a-long. I have put together the top and finishing up the borders today. Picture and directions to follow.

Step 1:  Once again we are working with HST's and this block goes together easily. You will need a background fabric, 2 mediums and a dark.

Step 2:  Cut four 2 7/8" squares from background fabric, cut two 2 7/8" squares from a medium fabric, three 2 7/8" squares from dark fabric plus two 2 1/2" squares, and four 2 1/2" squares from the medium accent fabric plus one 2 7/8" square.

Step 3:  Make the Half Square Triangles as shown in top picture using your favorite method and assemble block according to picture.

Sampler Sew-a-Long Block #15

Step 1:  Choose 6 coordinating fabrics for this block.  One light and one dark for the backgrounds.  One medium for the blocks, one medium light, one medium dark and one light for the accent fabrics.

Step 2:  From the light background cut four 2 7/8" squares, from the dark background cut four 2 7/8" squares, cut one medium 2 7/8" square and one light 2 7/8" square, cut four medium light 2 7/8" squares and four medium dark 2 7/8" squares.

Step 3:  Following the picture of the block and the picture above you will need to make 16 HST's and arrange them according to the picture.

Almost done!

Sampler Sew-a-Long Block #14

Step 1:  Cutting instructions; Out of a variety of your fabrics cut 1-2" strips. Cut two 4 7/8" squares and cut diagonally

Step 2:  Sew the strips together.

Step 3:  Trim the strip piece to a 6 1/8" square.

Step 4:  Sew the triangles onto the sides of your stripped square to form a square in a square block. See block at the top of the page.

Have fun.
