Westward Ho!
It's week 10, and this week we have Block J in the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along!

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Block(s) J |
You'll be making the block units with the quarter square triangles oversized first, and then cutting them down to size. To do this accurately, you'll have the best luck by using a smaller square ruler, such as the 4 1/2" square ruler I used, by Creative Grids. The ruler is marked with a 45 degree line.
✂ Align the ruler with the 45 degree line over one of the diagonal seams on your block as shown:
The block needs to be cut down so that it measures 2" unfinished, so you'll want the vertical and horizontal
1" line intersection placed over the block center.
Cut the right and top side with a rotary cutter.
Turn the block and trim the remaining edges for a 2" unfinished block unit.
You'll be making three Blocks J this week, in two different color combinations.

I hope you're enjoying the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along so far. The best part is when all of your blocks are finished, and you put them together, assembly of the quilt is a snap! That should be the very end of September! If you're using the red and green color palette, what a nice addition to your Christmas decor it will be!
Until next time!
