September Block of the Month

For September we are doing a very simple block in white/low volume/beigy background with 1" red strips. The blocks should be 9.5" square after trimming.


Instructions for the block are here, in a post from A Quilter's Table blog. The post assumes you are making many blocks, but you are only required to make one. As usual, more blocks mean more chances to win!

That's it.

The rest of the post suggests a quilt layout using these blocks; of course only the winner will do this!

The clever idea is to assemble the blocks (here I just show one row, but you would have many):


The sewn blocks are now your fabric; cut it into smaller squares (the author used a 6.5" square) , arrange them in a pleasing way and sew them together. You get something like this:


Modern and easy.  Also, check out how she quilted the binding with a decorative thread!
