TRICK OR TREAT: Making the Blocks

If you are looking for the cutting instructions, scroll back a few posts for those. Today we are going to start making the blocks themselves!

Basically each block requires (4) black flying geese, (4) grey flying geese and (4) orange/ivory solid bar units.

BLOCK INSTRUCTIONS

• Sew orange [a] rectangles to ivory [d] rectangles. Press open. Make (64) Unit #1 “bar unit”.
• Using [b/c/e] and SEW AND FLIP make flying geese units. Press out. Sew together in pairs as shown. Press open. Make (32) grey Unit #2 and (32) black Unit #3 total.
• Combine (4) Unit #1, (2) Unit #2, (2) Unit #3 and, [f] as shown to create block. Make 16. Press open.

A COUPLE OF NOTES

If you are working from a different jelly roll, divide your colors up following the numbers above, just change the colors. You will need (8) of each color. If your jelly roll doesn’t have that, add in from your stash!

This will make (16) 12″ blocks. If you want to make more or less blocks, you can always adjust as needed.

Stay tuned for more info on Monday!
