My Left-Handed Quilter's Sampler Quilt -
LHQSQ - See the page/tab above -
So far -
Is comprised of 6” sampler blocks -
That you can make using -
2-1/2” squares -
and HST that FINISH at 2” -
Three across and three down -
Variations of the basic NINE-PATCH -
The sewn block will MEASURE 6-1/2” -
And FINISH at 6” -
===
Now I’m going to add another element -
Strips - cut 1-1/2” x 2-1/2”
Because -
2 strips that are 1-1/2” wide -
And 2-1/2” long -
When sewn together -
Along the LONG side -
Will measure - 2-1/2” square -
And FINISH at 2” -
Just like the HST - ;))
You can cut them individually -
Or -
You can cut 1-1/2” strips -
Then sew 2 strips into a strip set -
And cut the sets into 2-1/2” segments -
Each segment will finish at 2” -
You can cut 4 segments from a 10-1/2” long strip set -
(2-1/2” x 4 = 10” plus some wiggle room)
For simplicity -
I will just list the number of individual strips -
That you will need to complete the block -
How you choose to cut and sew them -
Is entirely up to you - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Here’s the plan for June -
