Current Block of the Month:

Jewel Box

1. Sew two four-patch sections using light and medium fabrics. Your four-patch should be 5" square.

2. Sew two half-square triangle blocks using light and dark fabrics. Your HST should be 5" square.

3. Assemble the finished block as a larger four-patch as shown in the diagram. Your finished block should measure 9.5" x 9.5".

At the May meeting, we will have lots of pre-cut block kits in pretty blue and yellow fabrics (just like the picture in the newsletter!) for you to take home and sew. No measuring, no cutting ... just sit and sew!
