August!

Hi everyone! 

I can’t believe that it’s the end of our quilting bee! It’s been such a great experience for me and really helped my sewing to come along so thank you all!
 
My quilt is to adorn the bed in the master bedroom which we have recently re-decorated. It is a king bed hence why the block is a less of a block and more of a panel!
It is a chevron block and I took the instructions from the Applique Today blog and you can find them here.
 
I have sent you 15 patterned rectangles and 32 cream squares. Please could you add one 6.5” x 3.5” patterned rectangle of your choice in a similar colourway (aqua/blue/navy/duck egg) so that there is a little bit of each of you in your block!
 
The finished block should look something like this (please feel free to arrange the colours how you like them)


With the remaining half square triangles I would be grateful if you could sew them into small squares like this


Have fun!
