Sorry for the delay this month! I made it an easy one since I'm getting a late start this month! 

This month we will be making stripes! Should be an easy month! 


This month you will need your background fabric and Colors 4 and 5

Cutting: 

Background rectangles: 

(6) 1 ⅝” x 9” rectangles of Background Fabric

(6) 2” x 9” rectangles of Background Fabric

(6) 1 ⅝” x 9” rectangles of Color 4

(3) 1 ⅝” x 9” rectangles of Color 5

You can download a PDF of the instructions here.


Step 1: Stack your rectangles right sides together. Stack a wide background rectangle with a color stripe, two times. Stack a skinny background rectangle with a color stripe. Sew down the long side of the rectangles with a ¼” seam allowance. Iron seam allowances open. 

Step 2: Add to the stripe sets from Step 1. Sew the wide/skinny stripe set to the skinny/skinny stripe set. Sew the wide/skinny stripe set to the other skinny background stripe. Sew using a ¼” seam allowance and iron seams open.

Step 3: Sew the stripe sets from Step 2 together using a ¼” seam allowance. Iron seams open.

Step 4: Trim the blocks to an 8 ½” square block. 

Step 5: Repeat for two more blocks. 

And with that, we’re done! Another month of blocks complete!
