I hope you all will be busy making blocks over the next few weeks where Susan will leave with lots of blocks. Below are the directions. If you prefer to have a printed version, refer to the email that went out on March 8. A PDF was attached to this email from Renee or you can go to www.qovf.org and download one. It is under the "Free Pattern" section. Click the words "read more" and the download will be there.
If you have any questions or problems downloading the instructions contact Renee or Sarah.
Cutting and Assembly Directions
Cut (4) 2 ½" Blue Squares
Cut (2) 3" Blue Squares
Cut (2) 3" Red Squares
Cut (4) 2 ½" x 4 ½" White Rectangles
To assemble use ¼" seams throughout; start by drawing a diagonal line on the back of the red squares. Place the red and blue squares right sides together and stitch ¼" inch on either side of line. Cut on line. Press open. Do this to both squares. Square to 2 ½". Sew the red and blue HST to the 2 ½" square and press towards the blue. Sew this unit to a White Rectangle and press to the White.
After assembling four of these units as per picture assemble using block picture above. Your unfinished block will be 8 ½". Please do not square your block. It should not look like the picture above as the picture is generated and shows no seam allowances.

3. Do not trim your blocks.
4. Unfinished blocks should be no smaller than 8 ½ "square
