Block Ten

                      6 inch block                  8 inch block                   12 inch block            
Fabric A        4 x 8 inch                       5 x 10 inch                      7 x 14 inch  
Fabric B        2 x 8 inch                       2 1/2 x 10 inch                3 1/2 x 14 inch
Fabric C        8 x 3 1/2 inch                10 x 4 1/2 inch                 14 x 6 1/2 inch
Fabric D        3 1/2 inch square           4 /12 inch square             6 /12 inch square 

(6' - 8' - 12' block size)

Cut fabric A in half lengthways.

Sub cut into squares (2 inch - 2 1/2 inch - 3 1/2 inch).  Now you will have eight squares.

Sub cut fabric B in squares. (2 inch - 2 1/2 inch - 3 1/2 inch). Now you will have four squares.

Sub cut fabric C in rectangles (2 x 3 1/2 inches - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches - 3 1/2 x 6 /12 inches). You will now have four rectangles.

Put fabric D and B to one side for the moment.
Draw a diagonal line on the back of your eight fabric A squares. Use a pencil or NON permanent maker.

Place one of your squares on the rectangle. Right sides facing each other.

Stitch on the drawn line. Press your stitching to set the seam.

When trimming the corner, remember to trim on the outside corner of the square.

Press away from the rectangle.

 Place another fabric A square on the rectangle as shown and repeat.

Note to my ladies - please watch the video clips!


 Now we have four flying geese units.

Place one flying geese unit on top on the fabric D. Stitch in place using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Press towards the centre square.

Note to my ladies - please watch the video clips!

Place a second unit on the opposite site of fabric D square.

Stitch a fabric B square on each side of the other two flying geese units. Press towards the square.

Sew the three rows together to complete your block.  Ladies do not worry about trimming your blocks, we can square them all when we met again.

Take care and keep safe.  I am looking forward to catching up with all your news soon. x
