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.

Four Patch Unit
July, 2013
With right sides together, place a 5” light fabric square on a dark 5” square. Stitch a ¼” seam on opposite sides of the square. Cut the unit in half so that each piece measures 2 ½” x 5”. Press each unit open. With right sides of each piece together, align the seams so that the dark and light fabrics are opposite each other. Again, stitch ¼” seam on opposite sides of the square. Cut the resulting unit in half so that each four-patch unit measures 4 ½” x 4 ½”. Make four more sets and bring all 10 to the July meeting.
