Honoring Women's Rights ~ Week 30

Broad Arrow

 

 

We are quilting along with Barbara Brackman's

Block of the Week, Grandmother's Choice.

This is how I made my block, it may differ

a bit from the original.

Note:  We are dividing an 8'' block into 3

units and that is never going to be simple,

so get ready for 3/16'' measures...

 

 

Fabric Requirements:

 

Fabric A: Blue

3 - 3 3/16'' squares

1 - 4'' square

1 - 5 13/16'' square

 

Fabric B: White

1 - 4'' square - Mark a

diagonal line on back.

 

 

Make Half Square Triangles:

Pair Fabric A and Fabric B 4'' squares

with right sides together.  Sew 1/4'' away

from each side of drawn line, cut on drawn line.

  Press seams to the darker fabric and square

to 3 3/16''.

 

 

Layout square units and sew together

into 2 rectangles, press seams to the

solid squares.

 

 

Place small rectangle unit on the left side

of the large square and sew together.  Press

seam to the large square.

 

 

Place large rectangle on top of above unit

and sew together.  Press final seam open

to reduce bulk.  Square to 8 1/2''.
