    Welcome back to the Rainbow Quilt Block of the Month designed by Janome Maker Carolina Oneto! You are over halfway done with your beautiful quit! Give yourself a pat on the back and get ready to start your next block!

     

    This month you will learn how to make block seven, the Rolling Stone quilt block.

     

     

    From Carolina:

     

    I sew all the blocks on my Janome 1600P-QC, which I really love, one of the great things about this machine is that the bobbin winder is independent of other mechanisms and the speed control is variable depending on the user’s need. These are only a couple of the features that make sewing and quilting fuss-free.

     

    Please read through all instructions prior to piecing. Remember that all the blocks will have a finished size of 12” so that means the unfinished size will be 12 1/2”. All seam allowances are 1/4"

     

    Fabrics:

     

    White background

     

    • Five 4 1/2” squares
    • One strip 2 1/2” x 18”

     

    Light Blue:

     

    ·Sixteen 2 1/2” squares

     

    Blue:

    One strip 2 1/2” x 18”

     

     

    INSTRUCTION FOR SQUARE IN A SQUARE UNITS

     

    Mark the wrong side of the LIGHT BLUE 2 1/2″ squares in half once diagonally. Lay marked square right sides together with a white 4 1/2″ square and sew on the marked line. Repeat on the diagonally opposite corner. Repeat on the other corners. Make 4. Unit measures 4 1/2″ unfinished.

     

     

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RECTANGLE UNITS

     

    • Sew the two long strips of fabric, right sides together. Next, cut your sewn strip of fabrics into four equal parts. 4.5”. Press to the dark side.



    FINAL ASSEMBLY:

    • Arrange your blocks in the correct layout
    • Using a quarter-inch seam allowance, sew together in rows. Join all rows, using a quarter-inch seam allowance.
    • Press your completed block and trim down to 12.5″ square (if necessary).

     

     

    And that’s all!

    I hope you enjoy this new block! And don’t forget to share it!

    This month we will make our eleventh block. Carolina sews all the blocks on her Janome 1600P-QC. She recommends you to use a stitch length between 2.0 and 2.2, but this sewing machine is capable of stitch length variable up to a maximum of 6mm!

    Remember that all the blocks will have a finished size of 12” so that means the unfinished size will be 12 1/2”

    Fabrics:
    White background

    • Sixteen 2 1/2” squares
    • One 5 1/2” square

    Red

    • ·Two  5 1/2” squares

    Orange

    • Five  4 1/2” squares

    Yellow

    • One 5 1/2” square

    INSTRUCTION FOR SQUARE-IN-A-SQUARE UNITS

    Instructions for making HST two at a time

     

    Do this process with the 2 red squares of 5 1/2” and the two squares of the same size in yellow and white. You will assemble 4 half-square triangles.

     

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE QUARTER SQUARE TRIANGLES

    • To make a QST take two HST’s from the previous step (one red-white and one red-yellow) and place them right sides together with opposite colors touching.
    • Use a pencil or water soluble marker and draw a line from corner to corner, bisecting the HST seam.
    • On both sides of the diagonal line, stitch a 1/4” seam.
    • Using an acrylic quilter’s ruler and rotary cutter, cut along the pencil line.
    • Trim the blocks to a 4 1/2” square

    FINAL ASSEMBLY 

    • Arrange your blocks in correct layout
    • Using a quarter inch seam allowance, sew together in rows. Join all rows, using a quarter inch seam allowance.
