Second Saturday Sampler 2019

We are starting the 2019 sampler series tomorrow (April 13th).  If you have signed up - the first block is ready.  If you haven't signed up and would like to participate give us a call at 801-465-9133.  It's not too late to join in the fun.

Here are the instructions for the first block. 

You will need:
8) 4" background squares
8 different 4" print squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of all of the 4" background squares.

Match each of the background squares with a 4" print square with the right sides together and the outside edges aligned.

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

Cut on the line.

Square up to 3 1/2 inches.  (Quilt in a Day triangle square up ruler works really well for this step.)

Press toward the print.

Arrange to your liking using the photo above as a placement guide.

Sew the squares together and press the block.

The block should measure 12 1/2 inches.

Thanks for joining us!  If you are following along on line using your own fabric, we would love to see pictures.

We plan to have the quilt finished before the second block next month.  We will have some setting kits available for those who would like to finish it the way we do ours.  Stay tuned.

Happy Sewing!
