Make a Barn Quilt Block #2
This is the second block you will make – the instructions are for ONE (1) block but you will need TWO (2) blocks for the quilt shown above. The blocks are 15″ finished and 15 1/2″ unfinished:
Cutting Instructions for ONE (1) Block:
- Background Fabric: Cut FOUR (4) 5 1/2″ squares
- Background Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares – draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time on the back of each of these squares.
- Rust Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares
- Dark Rust Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 3″ squares
- Peach Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 3″ squares
Putting the Block Together:
- Using the Rust Fabric and a Background Fabric 5 7/8″ squares, right sides together, sew 1/4″ on EACH SIDE of the line you drew, then cut the half-square triangles apart ON the line you drew. You will end up with TWO (2) half-square triangles. Repeat so you have FOUR (4) half-square triangles.
- Sew the Dark Rust and the Peach four-patches together.
- Sew the individual rows together first, using the image above as your guide.
- Finally, sew the rows to each other so you end up with a Shoo-Fly block!
Remember, the instructions above are for ONE (1) block. You need TWO (2) of these blocks for the quilt top.
