you should double check the white in your fabric i'm thinking its actually 1 shade above bright white like an eggshell. i thought the fabric i purchased for the Jan Jane was red & white and when i got it home and compared it to my kona white fabric i discovered its just 1 small shade darker than bright white. |

I figure if they don't need to be done right away....oh mark me down for C12. If all goes well I will get them done earlier then I think! I just have to get a couple other things done first! (Like my centers for IRR!!!) Kendra |

i've attached a pic so you can see which section i'm talking about easier. cut 2 strips of the red fabric 1 inch by the width of the fabric cut 1 strip of the gold fabric 1 inch by the width of the fabric. now sew the 3 strips together with the gold fabric in the middle. now press the strip set. now you will cut the strip set every 2 inches - basically you're cutting 2 inch squares. you'll need 4 per block so 72 for all 18 blocks. from the green fabric you cut 2 inch squares you need 4 per block so 72 for all 18 blocks. once you have the pieces all cut out you can sew the rows (1,2,3) and then when you have all of those you can sew the 3 rows to each other to finish the block. when pressing the rows before sewing them to each other press the seams out on rows 1 & 3 and press the seams in on row 2. this way when go to sew the rows to each other the seams will nest with each other and help you match the seam lines. is it clear? do you have any questions? don't make these cuts yet - i think the math is wrong. let me double check and i'll let you know. i think these measurements will yield a 4.5 unfinished block. ok, the math is right! when i was drifting off to sleep last night i started to wonder is the math correct. |
This sounds like it would be fun but i smoke, so I'll watch.

I'm going to have to get busy and sew my blocks - I was 'mind' sewing last night instead of sleeping LOL
