SHARED FROM VELDA: Even though this is an easy block, we all have to pay attention to the 1/4" and centering our strip and lining up the two triangles to be balanced. Here is a link to how she makes this block https://vimeo.com/27274021'>https://vimeo.com/27274021

Re: FEBRUARY LOTTO - STASH BUSTER - Summer Porch Block - All Rec'd - Picture Posted
For me I spend St.Patricks Day celebrating Spencer's birthday. He was born a few hours before this FUN day! WHen I was working I would always wear green to avoid being pinch - OUCH!!!!
*** If you are making a block for your End of the Year Quilt you will need to make a 3.5" unfinished block to enjoy a very pretty 12.5 unfinished Year End block. This block is in the Egg Money Book but I wanted to see more colors in the fabric block than in the center strip. Very doable.
ENJOY and HAPPY STASH DIVING!!

I have several cut, (i didn't count) and 3 made up. Still sewing away.
Second post-4 set made need to press. 21 more cut (yes I know I should have counted as I went!). Need to find some more cream.
I am thinking, it may easier for the winners if the tails were left intact?

I should clarify - 21 of the small blocks, that would be 5 more sets. I found a cream yesterday so will get to going on the rest.
