The Old Red & Blue - Page 2

To construct the block's Center unit, sew the Color 1 squares we template-cut to  the ends of two Color 2 rectangles, pressing seams towards the rectangles. Next, sew the remaining Color 2 rectangles to the left and right edges of the center Square-in-Square unit, pressing seams again towards  the rectangles. Add the square-plus-rectangle units to the top and bottom edges, pressing seams towards the top and bottom...

Now sew a Color 2 HST to the right edge of each Color 3  2" x 5" rectangle, pressing seam towards the rectangle.

Sew a Color 2 HST to the right edge of each Color 3  2" x 3-1/2" rectangle, again pressing towards the rectangle.

Sew the last four Color 2 QSTs to the right edge of each Color 3  2" squares, pressing towards the squares.

Now join those units as shown at left to make four Corner units for the block...

Sew Corner units to opposing sides of the blocks Center unit, and then add the last two corners to the adjacent sides... and you have finished the block!

 

Here are four blocks by five...a nice Old-timey-looking quilt!

Happy Quilting Folks!
