MINI BLOCK CLUB OCTOBER 2019

NOTE: I will be adding patterns and pictures all week. Please keep checking back in. It takes a while to write, take pictures and post, and double check the patterns and I’m a little slow at times. Thank you!

OCTOBER BONUS BORDER BLOCKS: ITTY BITTY STARS

This is a really easy pattern and fun to make! You will need four (4) of these at 3.5 inches. You will need to scroll down to September for the pattern, click and print.

OCTOBER BLOCK #1: FIVE PATCH SHOO FLY

This is such a pretty block and easy to make! Instead of posting instructions, here is a link to Spruce Crafts. They have an abundance of patterns. Here is the link: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/shoo-fly-quilt-pattern-three-sizes-2821113.  Make sure to print out the pattern, and to scroll down to 6 inch. Have fun!

OCTOBER BLOCK #2: LADY OF THE LAKE

This is a classic pattern that goes well with other blocks as a companion. Just watch for the half square triangles that go around the block as they can be tricky to keep straight. Pattern and pictures will be up soon.

Here is a link to the pattern, it is a tutorial: It has 3 sizes to choose from but make sure to scroll to the right size, 6.5 inches. https://www.generations-quilt-patterns.com/lady-of-the-lake-quilt-block.html

And my finished block, but I did it a little differently. I used different fabrics for the center.

OCTOBER BLOCK #3: KING’S CROWN

If you google this, you will find another version of King’s Crown, but this is a different variation. This version is similar to Birds In The Air pattern, but watch for the little squares that go in the center. Pattern and pictures will be up soon.

OCTOBER BLOCK #4: LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE

This looks complicated and it is but only because it has so many pieces in it. But if you can keep your pieces marked and in order, it does go together quickly. Just be careful with the placements of the small squares. I am working on this and hope to post pictures this weekend.

Pattern and pictures will be up soon. This is a little different as it has the schoolhouse bell on top and is missing the other two roof pieces. I like the look of this one better.
