QNT B & W & bright wild or crazy print all-around 2020

6-10-20 thru 7-5-20

--1 partner

--2 different blocks to your partner

--bright wild or crazy print print all around the black and white

This block series will be a great way to use up some small scraps of fabrics from our stash, or you can go buy more fabric in quarter yard cuts.…you have my permission!

Each month we will exchange 2 different blocks with one partner and keep 2 blocks for ourselves.

Please note that the instructions below are for ONE block only, you will have to repeat it 4 times to get the suggested 2 different blocks to send and 2 blocks to keep.

*use 1/4-inch seam allowance to end up with a 8 1/2 inch block

Bright colored prints are best for the border fabrics. For this series we will use print fabrics only, no solids. Small prints work better for these blocks than large prints.

Cutting instructions for one block:

Cut 2 different black and white prints into rectangles: 2 ½” X 4 ½”

Cut 6 bright wild or crazy print colored prints into rectangles: 2 ½” X 4 ½”

Assembly per block:

1.Sew the 2 black and white prints together to create center of the block. (assemble on the 4 ½ inch side, NOT at the end of 2 ½” side.) This creates your center. Press seams.

2.Attach a bright wild or crazy print rectangle to each end of center block. (lay center block on the table with the 4 ½” side closest to you) Attach one WILD PRINT print rectangle to each end on the left and right. Press.

3.Sew 2 bright wild or crazy print rectangles together end-to-end on the 2 1/2“sides making a long rectangle. Repeat with the other 2 bright wild or crazy print rectangles. Attach one of these units to the top and one to the bottom of the block. Press.

I hope my instructions are clear, and if they are not, please let me know. I love to look at an assembled block as my example, so you can look at the picture on this swap to see what you will end up with.

Have fun and swap-on!
