Make a Barn Quilt Block #6
This is the fourth 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
- Pink Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares
- Bright PinkFabric: Cut TWO (2) 1 3/4″ x 2″ strips
- Bright Pink Fabric: Cut ONE (1) 2″ square
- Purple Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 1 3/4″ x 2″ strips
- Purple Fabric: Cut ONE (1) 2″ square
Putting the Block Together:
- Using the Pink 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 center rows with your Bright Pink Fabric and your Purple Fabric together as shown above, then sew the rows together to create your center square.
- 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.
