Isn't it just amazing--I haven't see a duplicate fabric in anyone's blocks !

We will need a page at the end of the year where we can post our finished quilts (or tops for us slackers)....I can't wait to see all of the amazing quilts that are going to come about as a result of this quilt along.....

May I make a suggestion? How about having a special heading or place for all the block rotary cutting instructions, templates, etc. and not mix in all the photos and discussion all together. I have been looking and have not yet found the rotary instructions for blocks #5 and #6. Will someone Please point the way?

Note: These measurements are exact except where noted.

Block #5 is a little tricky because of the odd dimensions.

Block #5
1. Dark Template # 34 Cut one 1-11/16" square.

2. Light Template # 35 Cut two 1- 11/16" x 2-15/16" rectangles.

3. Dark Template # 36 Cut two 3-1/2" x 2-15/16" rectangles
Use template to cut correctly,especially corners.

4. Dark Template # 36 R Same as for step 3.

5. Light Template # 37 Cut two 3" x 6-1/2" rectangle.
Use template to cut correctly, especiall cor

**************************


Block # 6
1. Light- Template # 12 Cut two 4-1/4" squares

2. Dark- Template # 12 Cut two 4-1/4" squares

Place 1 dark and 1 light 4-1/4" square -right sides facing together.

Cut from corner to corner diagonally.. Do not move or shift fabric.

From the opposite corners cut again diagonally.
Repeat for the other 2 4-1/4" squares.

Cutting the squares this way keeps the bias on the inside of the finished
block. The outside of the triangle is on the straight grain of the fabric.
and will not distort the finished block.

What you will end up with is 8 sets of 2 triangles facing each other
ready for sewing.
