It's part five of our Pocket Patchwork sew-along and time to sew our blocks together. Here are the next set of instructions for our Busy Work quilt......
Cutting Instructions
*Cut (1) 1 1/2 inch black square for the center.
*Cut (4) 1 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch strips for sashing.
Piecing Instructions
1). Arrange the pieces for the quilt center as shown.
2). Sew together into rows; in all cases press to the sashing.
3). Sew rows together; press. Your Busy Work quilt center should measure 13 1/2 inches square.
Not a whole lot of piecing today because I want you to rest up! We'll have a bit more piecing to do in Part Six, when we put the finishing touches on our Busy Work quilt. I think our little quilt is cute just the way it is, but trust me, it's gonna get even better!

ReplyDeleteLove it! Awaiting the next step. Thanks for saying what the center should measure, it's so helpful to know if I am exact or way off. So many designer don't and it makes the stress level go high.
ReplyDeleteFinished Part 5 and posted it on my blog along with a note about your new fabric. It's great colors and designs.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest quilt -- now I want one!
