Quilt in a Day Forums

Everybody ready for an easy peasy block this week!?

Here it is: It's the BOWS block from the Underground Railroad book! If you don't have the book, let me know and I can talk you through the directions.. It's pretty easy,. 1/2 square triangles put together like my picture below. Each small block should measure 4.5" square 3 across, 3 down to make a 12.5" unfinished block



Holler if you have questions

Another fun snd easy one

Mary my book is put away in shed. How big is the square cut before cutting the triangles?

Will I do LOl
According to book directions You start with 5.5 inch squares. You need 5 prints and 5 background sqs right sides together. Draw one diagonal line.
Sew 1/4 " from both sides of drawn line
cut on both diagonals into 4 pieces.
refer to Marys picture for how to sew together.
Let us know if you need more directions.

Thanks Katy

Here is my version of the bow tie block.
I decided to do a different color arrangement.

I used only 3 different fabrics.
