Completed Blocks

Butterfly at the Crossroads is the last block needed to be completed.  This one is not drafted and can be made using the rotary cutting instructions I gave at the last meeting.  Then if you wanted, you could have done the bonus block that is easiest paper pieced.  You will have 5 completed blocks, 6 if you do the bonus.

We will continue our assignment this evening at 5:45pm at the EG library.  I'm going to increase the number of completed blocks just a bit since I have heard many had all their blocks done early.

Hope to see you tonight!

Week 3

Block #3 is the Whirlwind block.


You can draft this block to get the correct dimensions.

You will be adding squares to the rectangles to result in triangles.

We are on to our 2nd block.  This block is fairly easy also.
