WELCOME BACK!
Only have 11 more blocks to make! Now, remember that some of them require multiples, but all of the ones that require 4 blocks have been posted. So, just for the months of June and July, so that we finish by December, I will be posting 3 blocks this time. Yes, I am still catching up myself as it has been a strange, busy and challenging year.
Block #14: RIO GRANDE CROSSING:
You will need to make 2 of these blocks.
The Rio Grande Crossing quilt block is a nine patch block, which is probably the most commonly used one in quiltmaking. This block contains simple shapes — only the square and the half square triangle — once again, favourites of quilters.
This block is by no means difficult, but due to the number of seams, you will need to pay close attention when sewing your quarter inch seam allowance, so that the pieces go together smoothly.
BLOCK #15: aUNT DINAH:
You will need only one of these blocks.
This block uses Quarter square triangles and half square triangles are abundant in this block and it uses mirror image pieces for some of the patches and it uses three triangles to make the final square though not all pieces are cut as quarter square triangles. Confusing maybe, but actually quite easy to make.
BLOCK #16: MILLSTONE:
You will need to make two of these blocks.
This block is comprised half square triangles, quarter square triangles and flying geese. It has a lot bias edges, so be careful with the edges.
I will be posting my blocks soon.
For the reason that there are so many bias edges, I have added this quilt block to the intermediate category, although there is really nothing difficult to making the block. By taking care with your piecing and those pesky bias edges, this block will be a very welcome addition to any quilt.
