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.

Combo Unit

March, 2014


Needed: 5 - light 5” squares and 5-dark 5” squares also 10 additional 4½”squares of different fabrics. Mark a diagonal line on each light square. With right sides together, place one dark and one light square together. Sew ¼” on either side of the diagonal line. Cut on the diagonal line. You now have 10 half-square triangles. Square these to 4½”, mark a diagonal line on each half-square triangle, and place each on one of the additional 4½” squares. Sew ¼” on either side of the diagonal line and cut on the line. Square these units to 4”. There will be 20 units. Someone will get bunches and bunches of combo units.
