I hope you're all ready for this block, sorry it's a bit late. You have had a mystery last month which has taken a little bit of time. I still have to get a good photo of the top now that it's all together for you.
Now for the block! This month we are doing a split 9 patch!
You will need two colours or two values. I have only used two colours.
So you will need to cut from each colour
3 X 4 1/2" squares
3 X 4 7/8" triangles
This is what you will have once it is all cut out!
Then we will piece the triangles to make square units. We can then sew the units into rows. I have press the seams towards the full squares and not the triangle squares.
This is the block in rows ready to be sewn together!
And here is the block all sewn together! One split nine patch.
I am behind in my hand piecing blocks but over the next couple of weeks these shall be all caught up. How are you doing with your blocks?
Here are all of mine together, I am really loving how these are coming together.
Wendy, might be a stupid question but how do you cut a 4 7/8ths triangle?
ReplyDeleteCut a 4 7/8" square then cut in half diagonally. Cheers
