It's time for the next block in the Just Takes 2 Schoolhouse Quilt. Today's pattern also includes instructions for the pieced border used in the quilt. This will give you time to divide up the mundane task of making the same unit over and over and........... 116 times to be exact!
Before we get to today's block let's take a look at how to make the pieced border unit.
With right sides together, match a white square to one end of the red rectangle.
Sew on the drawn diagonal line.
Press the square over to make a triangle.
Trim the bottom two pieces under the triangle leaving a 1/4" seam allowance.
Match a red print square to the opposite end of the rectangle and sew on the drawn line. Press and trim like you did on the white square.
There's your first Flying Geese unit! One down............... only 115 to go! Divide them up and do a few each time you make a block and that way they'll be ready when your blocks are.
There's a lot of miles between Michigan and Texas but Brenda and I do a pretty good job of staying connected. I have a special treat for you today. This is one of Brenda's blocks using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Isn't it beautiful? She was thinking of changing her background to a deep green but I love the block just as it is and am waiting to see what the green fabric looks like before I cast my vote. Be sure to head over to Brenda's Dear Jane web site and see her other blocks.
