Dixie Diary ~ June

Dreams of Home

 

 

We are quilting along with Barbara Brackman's

Block of the Month, Dixie Diary.

 

 

This is how I made my block.  The instructions

may differ from the original.

 

 

Fabric Requirements:

 

Fabric A: Light Print

2 - 7 1/4'' squares

 

Fabric B: Blue

2 - 7 1/4'' squares

 

 

Make Half Square Triangles:

Mark a diagonal line on the back of the

Fabric A squares.  Pair Fabric A and B

squares with right sides together.  Sew

1/4'' away from each side of drawn line.

Cut on drawn line and press seam to the

darker fabric.  Square to 6 1/2''.

 

 

Layout Half Square Triangles as shown

and sew together in 2 rows.  Press seam

in row 1 to the left and seam in row 2 to

the right.

 

 

Sew rows together, press final seam 

open to reduce bulk.  Square to 12 1/2''.

 

 

I have added the sashing and applique to mine.
