Units

Brought to you by Jan Lee Asman and Linda Nelson.

Here`s a new idea for our guild meetings. Instead of Tiny Treats, we`ll be making `Units`. Each month a simple block based on Pat Speth`s 5" block units will be our project. The only color requirement is that one part should be a light fabric and the other part a dark fabric. We encourage everyone to participate so that there will be many Units to win. If possible, you should make 10 Units each month and whoever is the lucky winner will receive all the Units. If just 10 members bring 10 Units each there will be 100 Units to win and we promise that each month all Units will go to just one winner. If we all contribute, that`s practically a whole quilt. If the response is large enough, the Units may be divided creating more than one winner.

Needed: 10-light 5” squares and 10-dark 5” squares and 10- light 2½” squares and 10-dark 2½” squares. Mark a diagonal line on each of the 20 small squares. Using 5 dark squares, place a light 2½” square on opposite corners of a dark 5” square. Sew across the diagonal marks. Press the resulting corners open. Cut away the underneath corner. Square to 5” x 5”. Do the same with dark 2½” squares on 5 light 5” squares .Mark a diagonal line on each additional light and dark 5” pieces. Place a corner-pieced unit with light corners on a light 5” square. Sew ¼” from the diagonal line, cut on the diagonal line, iron, and square to 4½”. Repeat process using light corner-pieced units with light 5” squares and dark corner-pieced units with dark 5” squares. Bring all 20 for a great chance to win a lot of units.
