November block of the Month
Kings Crown 8"
This month I chose a block that could spotlight
a fussy cut novelty print in it's center.
Fabric requirements: Note: any novelty, light fabric and
2 coordinating medium to dark fabrics that contrast with each other could
be substituted for the fabrics below
1 4.5" square Christmas novelty print
1 5.25 square pale gold -- cut on the diagonal, then cut
again on opposite diagonal
These
will be called triangle A
4 2 7/8" squares forest green -- cut on the diagonal
once
These will be called triangle
B
4 2.5" squares cranberry or bright red
- stitch the long side of a B triangle to each short side of an A triangle
to make 4 flying geese units that measure 2.5" x 4.5" including
seam allowance
. Press toward the
B triangles
- stitch a red square to opposite sides of 2 of the flying geese units
as pictured.
you will have 2 unit
2's that measure 2.5" x 8.5". Press toward the A squares
- stitch a flying geese unit to opposite sides of the 4.5' novelty square
as pictured.
you will have 1 unit
3 that measures 4.5" x 8.5". Press toward the novelty fabric.
