If you would like to help me make more quilts for Siblings Together here is my tutorial for the next mini block drive.
Cutting instructions
Please choose sweet pea coloured fabrics: purple, pink, blue, turquoise, green, and yellow. The background should be Low Volume or plain, light coloured, unpatterned fabric used throughout the block thank you.
From background fabric cut:
Four 4.5” squares
Five 2.5” squares
From assorted pink, purple, turquoise, blue, yellow and green fabrics cut :
Four 8.5” x 2.5” rectangles
Four 4.5” x 2.5” rectangles
Four 2.5” squares
Use a scant 1/4” seam throughout
1 Join a coloured square to each of four background squares, open out and press seam to the darker colour - unit A
2 Join a background 4.5” square to each 4.5” x 2.5” rectangle, open out and press seam to the rectangle - unit B
3 Join each unit A to each unit B, adding the two squares to the coloured rectangle as in the photo. Unit C
4 Join each rectangle 8.5” x 2.5” along the length of each unit C as in the photo.
All four should be joined together in the same way but with a mix of different colours.
5 Take last background 2.5” square and stitch, but not across the whole square, to attach it to one of your completed units. This is called a partial seam. (Stitch further than I did in this photo to make the final seam easier)
6 When you open this seam out you will now be able to add the next
unit entirely. Join the next unit, and then the other two.
Now complete the partial seam and press.
7 Your block is complete and you have aced the partial seam!
Your block should be 14.5” unfinished.
