CQF Corner

 
 
  • This is a basic 9 patch block.  The directions make 4, 5" blocks
  • Cut:
    • 1, 2" x 8" rectangle for each patch in the block
    • In this example you need
      •  4 white rectangles,
      •  3 medium purple rectangles,
      •  2 dark purple rectangles
  • Corners:
    • Gather
      • 9, 2" x 8" rectangles
    • Sew strip sets:
      • dark purple, white, medium purple
      • white, medium purple, white
      • dark purple, white, medium purple
    • Iron seam allowances
      • towards the center when the center strip is medium purple
      • away from the center when medium purple is on the end.
    • Cut each strip set into 4, 2" x width of set segments
    • Sew one segment from each set together along the long edge to make one 5" square. It should look like the picture at the beginning of this section.
    • Iron seam allowances open
    • Trim block to 5" x 5" square
    • Repeat 3 times to make 4 identical blocks.
