The Sickle Block

Odd name for such a cute block that we’ll make today.

Had lots more fun going through my scrap basket!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cut:

• 1 cream sq. 2  5/8″
• 1 gold sq. 2  5/8″
• 4 cream sq’s. 1  1/4″
• 4 gold sq’s. 1  1/4″

 

Layer the cream & gold 2 5/8″ squares right sides together.

If you’re lazy like me,

slice them corner to corner.

Use that cut edge to sew scant 1/4″ seams for 2 hst’s.

Sew each 1  1/4″ cream square to a 1  1/4″ gold square.

Chain piece to make this go quicker.

I pressed the sewn squares toward the gold fabric.

As I mentioned previously,

it helps the seams nest for best results!

The triangles I pressed open.

Trim them to 2″ x 2″.

Arrange pieces for the block then sew them together.

I pressed the last seam open.

I also removed the stitches in the seam…

You know the drill by now! lol

I debated using more than 2 fabrics

but that would probably change the block to another block!

So many quilt blocks that are almost but not quite same.
