Last week I decided to take my sewing machine along with me to mamma's. Between her upset stomach and Doctor appointments I managed to make a few blocks with my scrappy pinks.
After making a few of the blocks above I thought it might be a good idea to make a test block of the alternating block.
The best part was seeing how it was going to look with both blocks together. I'm Lovin' It!
There's no time for a proper tutorial. It's such an easy pattern I'm sure most of you don't need a tutorial. So I'm going to give you the basics.
The pinks are scrappy so there's no way I can give yardage for them.
3 yards of pale yellow background.
1 yard for the binding
5.5 yards for the backing
The quilt will finish at 72.50 x 84
Below is how many of each you will need to cut.
