2014 September Piece & Cut BOM
7 Attachment(s)
Welcome to my BOM
This BOM will be new originals designed by me using my shortcut pieced blocks. In the past I've called my method the Cut Down Method. I've renamed it the Piece & Cut Method. For any newcomers this means you sew fabric together and then cut out a square from the center using a template. Any size template can be used to make them. This Quilt Block is made with my Boston Blocks. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...al-t38879.html I haven't named this quilt block yet so feel free to offer some suggestions. [ATTACH=CONFIG]490909[/ATTACH] This is a Boston Block [ATTACH=CONFIG]490910[/ATTACH] Check out the link for directions on making this pieced block. You will need to make 3 diff shortcut blocks. make 16 of these Boston Blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]490910[/ATTACH] Make 16 of these HSTs [ATTACH=CONFIG]490911[/ATTACH] Make 4 of these Boston Blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]490912[/ATTACH] Here you can see the pieced blocks placed in rows. Make sure you place them in the order and turn them to match the picture Also make sure you place the colors in the right places to get this design. Value and contrast are important in this design If you need help on choosing fabrics feel free to pm me or ask here on this thread. [ATTACH=CONFIG]490914[/ATTACH] I like to sew sets of two together. [ATTACH=CONFIG]490915[/ATTACH] Then I sew the sets of 2 into 4 patches [ATTACH=CONFIG]490916[/ATTACH] Now sew the 4 patches into rows and sew them together. You should now have a quilt block completely sewn. Hope you enjoy this quilt block!! Using Templates I use a 2 1/2" template to get a 12 1/2" unfinished quilt block A 3 1/2" template will make an 18 1/2" unfinished quilt block A 4 1/2" template( or square ruler) will make a 24" quilt block. You can use this quilt block to make quilts/ tablerunners / wall hangings or anything you like. |

Oh Rhonda, what great movement in this block! It's really cool, thanks!

Hi, Rhonda. Is this going to be a monthly block? Do you have a mailing list that notifies us when the new one comes out? If you do, I know you know my email address and I'd like to not miss any of what you make.
BTW - I will write more later. I've been so busy and haven't felt well and have neglected writing to you, and for that I'm sorry. Ellie (sewellie) |
I will be following this BOM because I definitely enjoy making blocks using your method. Will the future blocks be on Quilting Board?
