March Sewing Days

I think we had record breaking attendance for Friday & Saturday Sewing. We filled the room using all the tables and sewed up a storm - well, not really a storm, but it did rain all day Saturday! Lots of sewing including Debbie's patriotic scrap quilt. Any colors could be used and it's a good way to use strips.  

This is what she did:

1. Sew together various widths of 7" fabric making a piece 19" long. Debbie says use larger pieces on the ends where they will be trimmed away. Cut a 10" square on the diagonal. Add the triangles - center on the strip. 

2. Trim block. Use a ruler with a diagonal line to place on the center of the strips.

3. These measurements make a finished 12" block. You could adapt it to make any size blocks you like. It makes a very striking design.
