Let’s Cut Those Small Blocks!

I know, I know, you thought we were done with cutting. Sorry, friend! Pull out that cutting mat, rotary cutter, and a big ruler so we can get ourselves ready to piece these Small Blocks. Pay extra attention to which direction you are cutting - whether it is for your Ascending or Descending Blocks. Be sure to use your labels! They will help keep you in order!

Now Back to Sewing!

We are done cutting, I promise! Now that all of those Ascending and Descending blocks are cut, let’s sew in some ribbons! Watch this incredibly entertaining video to see how to precisely sew those ribbons in, ensuring the block stays straight! Also, if you happen to catch what my current favorite television show is, I’ll give you a gold star!

Rip(ple) it Good!

Terrible pun, my apologizes. I was going for a “Whip It Good” joke but I’m afraid it just didn’t land. I figure if you’ve made it this far in the QAL you get subjected to my weird humor and incessant rambling. You’re welcome!

BUT ONWARD…. let’s make some ripples in those gorgeous Small Blocks! This little video will help guide you through.
