What you need:
2 Hyde Park Jellyrolls
1/2 yd. each of three green prints
1 1/4 yd. of another green print (Use for sashing rectangles, binding and one 2 1/2" strip.)
 |
| The block |
Grab a purple, pink or blue strip and cut 16 - 2 1/2" squares.
Grab a light strip and cut 21 - 2 1/2" squares. (I stack my strips and cut a couple of them at a time.)
 |
| Nine-patch block |
6 1/2" lengths. Sew the block together as illustrated below.
Repeat for 16 blocks. Use the pink, purple and blue fabrics for these blocks. Each block is a 14" square. (finished) Save the brown prints for later.
Instructions for the Sashing:
Cut 24 rectangles 6 1/2" x 14 1/2" from an assortment of your green prints.
Cut 96 - 2 1/2" squares from the brown prints in your jellyroll strips. Draw a diagonal line on the reverse side of each square for the seam line. Align the square, right sides together, in a corner of the green print rectangle. Sew on the drawn line. Trim the excess leaving a 1/4" seam allowance. Repeat for all four corners.
Sew all 24 rectangles using the same method as explained above.
Grab your assorted brown strips and cut 36 - 2 1/2" squares.
Cut 45 - 2 1/2" squares from your light strips. Piece 9 nine-patch blocks. These are sewn into three strips with the sashing rectangles.
Until later!
