The last block was relatively simple, this is a little more involved so I’ve split the instructions over two posts.
Block 6 Requirements.
Four x 4.5″ squares of fabric 1 (blue)
Two X 1.5″ X 5.5″ strips of both fabric 2 (black) and fabric 3 (pink)
Two X 1.5″ X 4.5″ strips of both fabric 2 and fabric 3
One strip of fabric 1, 12.5″ X 2.5″
Two strips of fabric 1, 5.5″ X 2.5″
Four strips of fabric 4 (shocking pink) 6.5″ X 1.5″
One strip each of Fabrics 2 and 3, 18″ X 1.5″
Four 4.5″” squares of fabric 5 (shocking pink with stripes)
Freezer paper.
Construction
Sew a 2.5″ strip of fabric 2 to one side of the 4.5″ square of fabric 1.
Then sew the 5.5″ strip of fabric 2 to the adjacent side.
Repeat this with another blue square and the other black strips, then do the same with the remaining squares and the pink strips.
Then take one of the smaller 2.5″ wide blue strips and sew it onto the edge of the square where there is a seam.
Then sew one of the pink strip squares to the bottom, this time sewing the non-seam side to the blue strip. Repeat for the other two squares and then sew each of the combination strips to the 12.5″ X 2.5″ blue strip.
We’ll add the appliqué pieces in the next post. Stay tuned…
