yayyy!!!
here are the instructions for block seven!!!
yall will need:
two 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares of focal print fabric {mine=red}
two 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares of solid fabric {mine=cream}
two 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strips of solid fabric {mine=cream}
two 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips of solid fabric {mine=cream}
two 1 1/2" x 10 1/2" strips of solid fabric {mine=cream}
two 1 1/2" x 12 1/2" strips of solid fabric {mine=cream}
two 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips of secondary print fabric {mine=aqua}
two 1 1/2" x 10 1/2" strips of secondary print fabric {mine=aqua}*
*if you are using layer cake pieces...
add two 1 1/2" x 2" strips of secondary print fabric {mine=aqua}
yall will need to piece your 1 1/2" x 2" strips to your 1 1/2" x 10" strips.
& then trim your whole strip down to 10 1/2" long.
this is the only way to do this with layer cake pieces.
{pretend i was cool enough to take a pic of my hst blocks.}
using my hst tutorial, use your 3 7/8" squares to make 4 hst blocks.
this is our block layout.
simple, but cute.
sew all your pieces together to construct your block.
i really like the simplicity of this block.
now make one more block in a completely different color scale.
obviously i have some addiction to the red in this line.
i couldn't help but use it twice.
:P
so that's 14 blocks down. only 2 to go.
are yall antsy to be done yet???
i can't wait to start seeing all of yall's blocks show up in our flickr pool.

Ok Rachel, you have to stop! Each time you post a new one, it becomes my favorite, and now I'm all confused!
Even though I'm not participating, I am thoroughly enjoying following along and also cannot wait to see the finished quilts in the flickr pool.
