Pink and Green

Here's the beginning of a baby quilt.

The block is called Quail's Nest.

I'm using some small pieces of fabric I found

after Digging in my piles.

I love these colors.

This block starts here.

4 half square triangles.

Mine are trimmed to 4".

I started with 2 sets of 4 1/2" squares: white and pink.

I drew a diagonal line down the middle.....

followed along to make two 1/4" seams.

Cut along my line.

Now I have four half square triangles.

Press open to the darker fabric.

Then.

Important step.

Trim the square to 4"

How big do you think that center square is?

yep.

4"x4"

Here are my strip sets.

Can you see the notes I tried to attach to the picture?

I didn't think so.

That's my first attempt at adding type to a picture!!!

Woo Hoo!!

I got it on there...

But it's way too small!!

:)

The strips are as follows...for those of you who

cannot read that tiny, tiny print!

Pink strip is 2"x4"

green strip is 1 1/2"x4"

white strip is 1 1/2"x4"

Here it is!!!

When it's all together the block measures

11"x11"

Now I'm going to go make some more.

My goal:

12 blocks.

My purpose:

Baby quilt.

My dream:

Another quilt.

for a boy.

using blue and red!!!!
