Materials:
8 3.5" squares of Color A
8 3.5" squares of Color B
*note* these are the essential materials for each block, so you can cut several blocks worth of fabric at once to save time!

Create your blocks, following the same procedure as last week. If you need help making your blocks, please see this post. You should end up with 16 2.5" squares. Ready to lay out your block? Here we go!
ROW 1
ROW 2 (sorry for the blur!)
ROW 3
ROW 4
After you have sewn your squares into rows, press your seams. I like to press odd numbered rows to the left, and even to the right. It helps to use a small piece of paper to number your rows. I like the tiny post-it notes.
After pressing, you are ready to sew your rows together! Pin, if necessary, but I find that these short rows don't require pinning.

Press one final time, and voila! Another finished block! Only 7 to go! Remember to add your blocks to our flickr group!

It seems like one hsq is in there wrong?
ReplyDeleteI just came across this QAL, looking for HST blocks. What a great source you've found! I've been enjoying browsing all you've been working on (the end is in sight; must be exciting!).
ReplyDeleteYou've rotated one square in this block, it seems. Far right block, second from bottom row, should be turned 90-degrees counter clockwise. I might just leave it though. It can be a puzzle within the quilt, like the duplicate block in the inspiration quilt.
