Welcome back … if you haven’t started SPRING FLING 2024, no worries. You are not behind. The sewing begins today - the first day of Spring.
Each completed block will measure 16” x 16” finished
What size quilt will you make?
Completed blocks | Layout | Measurement | No. of 4-patches |
9 | 3 blocks x 3 blocks | 48” x 48” | 72 |
16 | 4 blocks x 4 blocks | 64” x 64” | 128 |
20 | 4 blocks x 5 blocks | 64” x 80” | 160 |
25 | 5 blocks x 5 blocks | 80” x 80 ” | 200 |
SPRING FLING - Part 2
1. Pull out LOTS of 2 ½” squares – all colors, prints, fabric are welcome. Try and stay away from neutrals. We’re looking for lots of color.
2. Make 4-patches. For each completed block, you will need 8 units (4-patch block).
3. Practice the Perfect Twirl when you press the 4-patches.
20 blocks will yield a quilt top that measures 64” x 80” – perfect for a couch throw. If you want to go bigger, you can make more blocks or add some borders. The important thing right now is to make 4-patch blocks … lots of 4-patch blocks.
This is a GREAT “in-between seams” sewing project. Stack your 4-patch blocks into groups of 10 for easy counting. They will be done sew fast, you might want to make a bigger quilt.
Once you complete your 4 patches, head outside and enjoy SPRING!!
Stay tuned for the next step!
