November mystery quilt

With this being Thanksgiving week we figured it might be nice to have the mystery kits ready a little early.  You are welcome to stop in and pick them up today if you would like.

We kept the quilt fairly simple to show off the beautiful prints in the collection. 

We chose to add an optional border which makes the quilt about 67 x 83 1/2 inches. 

We will be using the Juniper collection for our December mystery quilt.  Since the last Tuesday in December falls on New Years Eve we will pass out the kits on Monday, Dec. 30th.

Thank you for your support.  As we take a moment to think of our blessings we count you among them. 

The shop will be closed this Thursday through Saturday as we celebrate Thanksgiving and spend a little extra time with our family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Second Sat. Sampler block 8

For this 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 inch background squares.

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

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn lines.  Cut on the line.  Square each section to 3 1/2 inches and trim the excess points of the seams.  Press toward the print.

Assemble the resulting 1/2 square triangles to create the block as pictured above.
