Red White and Blue Block and Giveaway!

Hasn't it been fun to do this RWB blog hop??

Thanks to Madame Samm at sew we quilt

and Jane at Jane's fabrics and quilts for hosting this!

I've really enjoyed it! some great blocks and completed projects too and giveaways.

Here is My block.

I designed it in EQ7

I merged these two blocks in EQ

to come up with this!

I just used scraps for this one block.

These are the cutting directions

Red:

(4) 3 1/2" squares

(1) 3 7/8" square cut in half diagonally

Blue:

(8) 3 1/2" squares

White:

(4) 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles

(1) 3 7/8" square cut in half diagonally

(1) 2" x 8" or cut it a little longer than 8"

Red #2:

(1) 2" x 8" or cut a little longer

On the back of the blue squares, mark a diagonal with a pencil or Frixion pen.

Lay the blue square on top of white 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" and sew on the line, trim 1/4" from seam- AFTER you check it's straight :-)

Sew red and white triangles together

Sew White and red #2 strips together on the long side, then sub-cut to 4 sets of 2"

Sew the Red #2 and White patches together to make (2) four patches, also finish the flying geese units.

Place pieces as shown and sew together.

Here's an EQ layout of what it would look like if you swapped the red and blue on every other block and rotated the blocks, will look great in scraps!

Now, on to the giveaway
