Make the Block
1. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (1) 2" Black Damask squares. Position the marked square right sides together on (1) 2" x 3-1/2" Festive Lace Green rectangle. Sew on the drawn line, trim seam allowance to 1/4", and press open. Make (4).
2. Repeat step 1 on the opposite end to make a flying geese unit. Make (4).
3. Sew (1) 2-3/8" Outline Rose Red triangle to (1) 2-3/8" Festive Lace Green triangle along the diagonal edge to make a half-square triangle unit measuring 2" square. Make (4).
5. Lay out (2) 4-1/4" Festive Lace Green triangles and (2) 4-1/4" Outline Rose Red triangles as shown. Sew the triangles together in pair and join the pairs to make an hourglass unit. Make (4).
6. Following steps 1 and 2, use 2" x 3-1/2" Black Damask rectangles, 2" Festive Green Lace squares, and 2" Outline Rose Red squares to make (4) flying geese units with the red triangle on the right. In the same way, make (4) additional flying geese units in reverse, with the red triangles on the left.
7. Lay out the block center, (4) hourglass units, (4) flying geese units, (4) flying geese units in reverse, and (4) 3-1/2" Festive Lace Green squares into (3) rows of (3) as shown.
8. Sew the units into rows and join the rows to complete the 12-1/2" square block.

ReplyDeleteThis block is really beautiful with this fabric. (I tried to go to Jackie's website, but the link didn't work so I was wandering if you could put the patterns in a PDF. I would love to download these blocks to make later.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, at this point we don't have plans to put the patterns in a pdf. We'll let you know if that changes. Thanks!
DeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
DeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
