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
Connecting Threads is sponsoring this giveaway and
have been VERY generous with this giveaway!
This you know all their fabrics are made in the US! and the prices are great too.
This was a red white and blue bundle I picked to go with our "theme" I love the nautical theme too!

What a great post. The tutorial as usual is very good! Thank you very much for that. Among my favorite quilt blocks is the Jacobs Ladder which I think is one you used to combine and create your block. I love the block you created.

Great block, Bea! Love that you also showed how it would look in a quilt.
Awesome giveaway! I am a loyal customer of Connecting Threads and receive their newsletter.
I am a follower of our blog. Love your banner!
I'm not positive what would be made from that great fabric bundle for sure, but of course, first thought would be a little quilt for my Grandson. Another thought was to make him a cute little summer outfit for next summer and a matching sunhat too and maybe, if enough fabric a little beach bag for his toys. By next summer he'll be about 1 1/2 yrs old so I'm guessing I'd have more than enough.
Or I may just come up with something totally different knowing the way I change my mind. LOL
Thank you for the chance.
Love you facebook page. Beautiful quilts. Thanks for the tutorial. Judith, Texas

Hello again. Firstly, as a quilting newbie I will visit here often.
The giveaway is fantastic, so I am a follower of your blog as of this morning (because I really like it), I liked your FaceBook page, very nice. I liked Connecting Threads FaceBook page. Great shop!

I'm signed up for CTs newsletter. Great post.
Ms. I have to say that I went back to spend more time reading your previous postings and enjoyed them greatly. I found them to be interested and informative. I have eq 5 on my puter and was amazed to see how you meshed two patterns together to create your R/W/B block then followed it with very precise directions that even a newbie like me could follow without issues. It was also nice to see what the finish layout could look like and that is very helpful. Thank You for the chance to win the pretty CT fabrics.
Sincerely,
Tricia
