Rancher's Daughter Quilt Along Block Tutorial (Block 3)

Happy Thursday everyone!

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Here's the latest block in our Quilt Along 

(First of all I must apologize for the picture quality. I finally realize it isn't my lighting, I need a new camera!)

So it's on the list!

This was a really fun block to make.

But beware....if you don't want to do a lot of ripping out (like I did!)

make sure your pieces are always lined up and pointing in the direction they are supposed to be!

Here's the cutting directions:

 A Cut (8) 1 1/2" squares (red/white polka dot) 

B Cut (8) 1 1/2" squares (yellow print)

C Cut (4) 1 1/2" X 2 1/2" rectangles (red/white polka dot)

D Cut (4) 1 1/2" squares (red print) 

E Cut (4) 1 1/2" squares (yellow print)

F Cut (4) 1 1/2" X 2 1/2" rectangles (red print)

G Cut (4) 1 1/2" squares (yellow print)

H Cut (4) 1 1/2" squares  (red print)

 First of all I lay out all of the pieces to keep it straight:

For A/B units put one of each right sides together, 

draw a line diagonally down the center of one

and then sew together on that dotted line. Trim up to 1/4" past seam and press open.

Do the same with E/D squares but then put the four together to form center pinwheel unit.

 

 Position into pinwheel and stitch together using 1/4" seam:

Turn these pieces over and unstitch the few stitches at center

and it will help to make your pinwheel to lay flat:

  Now your center piece is done.

Take C and F rectangles and sew together lengthwise:

 

   Make sure all units are lined out and all points are positioned correctly:

 Sew A/B Units to corner G units.

Sew A/B units to inside H squares.

 Stitch these together:

 Sew these units to the center C/F unit creating top and bottom rows:

 Stitch center pinwheel unit to two side C/F units to create center row.

Sew all rows together:

 Hope you enjoyed ladies! 

There's a lot of pieces to this block but I think you will really

be pleased with the final result!

Oh yes...

and here's a new pic of baby Kash (Tory's little boy)

 I feel like this is all of you ladies grandbaby,

seeing so many of you invested time in praying for this child of mine in her hard times!

God is good!! So good!!

Love to all....

  P.S. I have a professional working on a blog button for me, so hopefully I will be posting that at the first of the week, plus more refined details for this Quilt Along!
