Rainbow Quilt Block of the Month Block 10

Welcome back to the Rainbow Quilt Block of the Month designed by Janome Maker Carolina Oneto!

 

This month Carolina will walk you through how to make our tenth block. The Rolling Stone block is in a new color combo!

I sew all the blocks on my Janome 1600P-QC, and I really love it, one of the great things about this machine is that with nearly 9" x 6" to the right of the needle the 1600P-QC gives an extra-wide work area, especially for big projects and quilts!

 

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 fabric

· one  2.5′′ x 18′′ rectangle

Dark purple

· Four 4 1/2” square

Light purple

· twelve  2.5′′ x 2.5′′ square

Pink

· one 4 1/2′′ square

Blue

· four  2.5′′ x 2.5′′ squares

 · one 2.5′′ x 18′′ rectangle

 

INSTRUCTION FOR SQUARE IN A SQUARE UNITS

 

Mark the wrong side of the 2 1/2″ squares in half once diagonally (light purple and blue). 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 of 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).
