Make a Barn Quilt Block #7
This is the fifth 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
- Turquoise Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 5 7/8″ squares
- Blue Fabric: Cut TWO (2) 3 3/8″ squares – then CUT each square diagonally, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time
- Medium Purple Fabric: Cut ONE (1) 3 3/8″ square – then CUT the square diagonally, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time
- Light Purple Fabric: Cut ONE (1) 3 3/8″ square – then CUT the square diagonally, corner-to-corner ONE (1) time
Putting the Block Together:
- Using the Turquoise 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 a Light Purple Fabric triangle to a Medium Purple triangle on the side, repeat to make two triangles you will sew together in the center.
- Sew the Blue Fabric triangles onto two opposite sides of the Medium & Light Fabric square, press toward the Blue fabric and then sew the remaining Blue Fabric triangle to the two opposite sides of the Medium & Light Fabric square, pressing toward the Medium & Light fabric 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.
