Quilting to me:

"In this crazy fast and furious world we live in I believe it is our responsibility to take time for ourselves, even if it is once a week or month. Doing what you love is one way slow the craziness down. I like to think I'm doing what I love."

Mystery Quilt -- June Block

Mystery Quilt
June Block
 
With this block you will the following:
 
Light fabric
Medium fabric
&
Dark fabric
 
Fabric cuts for June block:
 
Dark:
  2    6 3/4" squares
2   3 3/8" squares
4      3" squares
 
Medium:
2    6 3/4" squares
2    3 3/8" squares
 
Light:
4     6 3/4" squares
 
 
Using the method I gave you last month for
making half squares triangles,
put 2 of the light 6 3/4" sqs. with
2 of the dark 6 3/4" sqs.
& 2 of the light 6 3/4" sqs. with
2 of the medium 6 3/4" sqs.
 
This will give you
16 light & dark squares
& 16 light & medium squares.

You will need
4  medium & dark squares.
Use the 3 3/8" medium & dark squares
to make these half triangle squares.
 
Lay out your 36 squares according
to the diagram below for your block.
The 4 dark squares go in the corners
instead of the light & dark squares as in your
last block for May.
  
 
See you next month with another block.
