QB Block-of-the-Month, April 2013 - Double Aster
Yea! It's April Fools Day so you must decide "IS IT OR IS IT NOT" the correct post for April! Now you all know me by now....so here we go.
The Block for April 2013 is Double Aster located at the link below!
http://www.quilterscache.com/D/DoubleAsterBlock.html
Now don't panic, it's not a hard block at all. Just follow the direction photos exactly and you will not have a problem. Below are my cutting chart because I do not care for the way Marsha cuts her blocks. When I follow that mine never come out with the right measurements. Could be just a mental block on my part but I'd rather cut each size myself.
CUTTING CHART: It was easy to put together just 1 "Y" seam at the 2nd to last seam I used the colors listed in the block.
Color #1 (Purple) 2- 5 1/8" square...cut in half for 4 HST
Color 2 (Orange) 2- 3 7/8" square..cut in half for 4 HST
Color 3 (Aqua) 2 - 2 3/8" square cut in half...4 Sm HST;
2 - 3" square ... cut half 4 Med HST
1 2 5/8" square
Color 4 (Black) 2 - 2 3/8" square cut half...4 Sm HST
6 - 3" square cut in half 12 Med HST
2 - 5 3/8" square cut half 4 Lg HST
That's all folks! Happy April Fool's Day!
Hugs,
Cajun
