The August Block of the Month[glossary] is another simple [glossary]block to make. For this block you will need Light Blue (or white), search Rust, and Light Green color fabrics.
Cut the fabrics as follows:
Light Green: Cut five 3 1/2″ squares.
Rust: Cut eight 4 1/2″ squares.
Light Blue: Cut four 3 1/2″ squares and eight 4 1/2″ squares.
Next placing the Rust and Light Blue 4 1/2″ fabrics right sides together, draw a diagonal line down the center. Next you will sew a straight stitch 1/4″ on each side of the line. Once completed cut the squares along the drawn line and press towards the darker color and square the block to 3 1/2″.
Arrange the blocks and sew them together as shown in the photo above and square the block to 15 1/2″.
Happy Quilting,
