Make It Sew: 2-4-6-8 Scrap Block

What we do appreciate? Scrap blocks!

Quilt blocks formed from scraps uses our leftover fabric pieces and shapes them into a new project!

We'll start our meeting with a guest speaker who LOVES scraps quilts and makes many quilts for charity. 

Then we'll learn how to make a fun 8" (finished) block from your leftover 2.5" strips and scraps. I'll have a sample block you can practice on, and then you can go on and make four of your own! ONE of these blocks would be PERFECT for a potholder or mug rug. TWO could make a larger hot pad for a casserole dish. THREE or FOUR blocks could make a simple table runner.

To make FOUR blocks, bring the following cut from your scraps and/or from 2.5" strips:

TWENTY 2.5" squares

EIGHT 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles

FOUR 2.5" x 6.5" rectangles

FOUR 2.5 X 8.5" rectangles

Let me know if you are planning on using one of the in-house sewing machines.
