This week our pattern will be revealed as we sew our blocks into rows.
Next week our quilt tops will be completed!
By now you should have 2 piles of blocks.... 21 4patches and 21 sets of flying geese.
I would like for you to choose 9 more sets of geese and turn those into 4 patch blocks like the ones you made last week.
Now you should have a total of 12 sets of geese and 30 4patch blocks to make your quilt.
There are LOTS of pictures attached to this weeks instructions.
(click on any of the pictures if you wish to enlarge them).
The design is created by sewing 4 simple row patterns... A,B,C and D.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN SEWING YOUR ROWS TOGETHER - arrange/audition them first in an order that is pleasing to you.
Once you have the quilt laid out to your liking - then begin sewing.
You will need a total of (3) A rows and (2) each of rows B,C and D.
Let's begin with the assembly instructions for each of the rows.
Now Row B:
And here are rows A + B together:
Row C assembly:
Row D assembly:
Here are rows C + D together:
Once you have each of your ROW units sewn you will begin assembling your quilt by sewing your A+B rows together and your C+D rows together. You will have (1) row A section left over. This will be the final row of your quilt.
Continue assembling your row units into pairs following this order:
* row 1 = row units A+B
* row 2 = row units C+D
* row 3 = row units A+B
* row 4 = row units C+D
* row 5 = row unit A
It's important to keep your row units paired in this order to create the secondary background design of "Waves or Streaks of lightning" that emerge as you sew this top together. Here is an example of all 5 row units laid out on my flannel wall:
Next week you will sew your 5 final rows together and we will share picture links of our finished quilt tops.
