Block of the Month-October

Block of the Month #10 - Homespun

For the third time, I am trying to post the Block of the Month for October.    As they say, third times a charm.  So, I hope this works this time because this will be the third time I have typed this and uploaded pictures.

October's Block is called "Homespun".  You will need three fabrics:  a Background, Fabric A (I used blue), and Fabric C (I used red).  You will need to cut the following:

Background:  Cut 1-4 1/2" Square

                      Cut 3-2 1/2" Strips, then cut 32 HST (Half Square Triangles)

Fabric A:  Cut 1-2 1/2" Strip, then cut 8 QST (Quarter Square Triangles)

Fabric C:  Cut 2-2 1/2" Strips, then cut 16 HST

Sew a Background HST to each side of a Fabric B QST to make Flying Geese Units, as shown below.  Make 8 Flying Geese Units.  Sew two together to make one unit (arrange as in the picture).

Sew a Background HST to a Fabric B HST to make Half Square Triangle Units.  Sew them in pairs as shown in the picture below, then sew two pairs together (arrange as in the picture).

Lay the block out as shown.  Sew the units together to make rows.  Sew the rows together to make the block.

I will be posting more blocks soon.  I have missed several months, but plan to post all of them as soon as I can.
