Sticks and Stones

This week we are going to make Sticks and Stones.

Remember all those 2 patches we have left over from last week's Flat Bottom blocks (52 of them if my math is correct, but then The Crew's math has been known to be ALMOST accurate!)

Cut 52 each 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" strips (Sticks) from your background fabric. Then we will match those to those 2 patches (Stones):

If you are having a bit of trouble with matching the units, here is a little trick to help you. Fold your Stick in half to make a crease:

Match that crease to the seam in your Stones and sew your 1/4" seam. I pressed toward the background. It truly doesn't matter in the final quilt, but these blocks seamed happier that way! I guess you could say the Stones wanted to be the boss of the Stick!

Your finished units should be 4-1/2" x 4-1/2":

I love it when a plan comes together! 

Make 52 of these happy little Sticks and Stones:

That's it for this week! Super easy, right? It gives a chance for some of you to catch up! Next week we just might start assembling some blocks! 😊

Have fun! See you next week!
