Tell it to the Stars – July

This the block we’ll be making and for July, we will make six of them.  OK .. stop moaning!  🙂

As with the previous blocks, these will be 12″ finished or 12-1/2″ unfinished. I meant to check it but forgot but I think this is the last time we will be using Fabric 6 so if you’re running low, don’t worry.

For each block, you will need two of the following four patch blocks (12 of each for all six blocks).  The squares in these four patches need to be cut 2″. The four patches will be 3-1/2″ unfinished.

The above is made using Fabrics 1 and 6.  

The above is made using Fabric 1 and 3.

And you will need one of the following four patch:

The above is made using Fabrics 3 and 6.

Using Fabric 1, cut 24 – 3-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ rectangles.  Using 12 these pieces and Four Patches A & B, create 12 of these units:

Using Fabric 1, cut 24 – 2″ x 3-1/2″ rectangles. Using 12 these pieces and the Four Patch C pieces, create 6 of these.

From Fabrics 3 and 6, cut 12 – 2″ squares.  Sew those to the ends of the remaining 2″ x 3-1/2″ rectangles as shown below.  Make 12.

Sew these units to the top and bottom of the previous units.  Make 6.

Sew the remaining Fabric 1 3-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ rectangles to the left and right sides of these units.  Make 6.

Sew the Four Patch A/B with the rectangles (made previously) to the top and bottom to complete the block.  Make 6.
