Block 3 - "Four Crowns", was first printed on November 22, 1933 in the Kansas City Star Newspaper. The block was a little more complex than the first two, I have done.
The block is easy to cut out. You are using 4 basic fabrics and cutting them into squares and rectangles.
Then you will be making 8 flying geese in two different colors of fabrics. And 8 half-square triangles. Then you have everything prepared to start assembling the rows together.
The first and last rows looks like this. You combine the half-square triangle and the 2 1/2" squares to make the outsides and then sew the flying geese unit in the middle.
The next row in use the a little different color scheme, but are done the same way.
The center unit combines the red and blue flying geese units together on the outside of a 4 1/2" square.
Then you just sew all 5 rows together and you get the finished unit, measuring at 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" unfinished.
So far the units are looking pretty together. Looking forward to next months release.
Today, I will be back in sewing, I'm finishing up some old block of months that have become UFO's.
Have a great day, and say warm under a quilt!
