2018 Second Sat. Sampler block 2

First, a few items of business -

We have created finishing kits.  The kits include dark blue fabric for setting the blocks on point, sashing fabric, border fabrics and binding.  The quilt will finish about 72" x 91 1/2".  The finishing kits are $58.00 plus tax.  We have 17 kits prepared and have ordered fabric to complete more.  

If you would like to make your quilt Queen size we will be cutting extension kits.  These kits will be a supplement to the above mentioned finishing kits and will include fat 1/8s from the collection to enable you to create 4 more blocks of your choosing, additional setting, sashing and border fabric.  With the additional fabric the quilt will measure approximately 94" x 94".  The extension kits will be about $35.00.  If you are interested in an extension kit please let us know as soon as possible so we can secure the additional fabric needed.

Thanks!  Now let's make a block.

4) 4" taupe and cream squares
4) 3 1/2" taupe and cream squares
4) 4" dark blue squares
2) 4" taupe and blue squares
1) 4" medium blue square

To begin, draw a diagonal line on the back of all four of the 4" taupe and cream squares and the taupe and blue squares.

Match the taupe and cream squares to the dark blue squares with the outside edges aligned and the right sides together. 

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line.
