This months block is brought to us by Judy!
The block is a modern leaf! To make it follow along with Judy's instructions.
Make a stroppy block 1 1/2" bigger than desired finished size. Judy made hers 4 1/2" so that the block would finish 3". Make a second block and cut the blocks, angling in opposite directions for each block.
Sew two mirror image pieces together with a 3/4" strip of stem fabric in the middle. Trim the block to the desired size and add connector corners of background that are finished size plus 1/2". Judy used 2" background squares for her 3" finished block.
Judy made four leaf blocks in total so that when they are pieced together they will make a 6" finished block.
Paulette's block is very elegant.
My block is a little on the bright side. Paulette and I both used instructions available here. It is a blog post from a few years ago, with a link within it to the original directions for the block.
Thank you to Judy for organizing and presenting this fun block for us.
Happy Quilting!
