To celebrate St Patty's next month, the BOM is going to be clovers! This is a pretty simple block and the size is decent as well. The block is from Piece N Quilt. For detailed instructions and to make it in another size (for yourself), take a look at her blog. For images, please see blog post.
Size: 12.5 in (12 in finished)
Colour palette: Various greens for the clover and white (solid) for the corners and background.
Cutting:
(12) 3.5x3.5 in squares in various greens
(1) 1 3/4(1.75) in x 9in strip in green
(9) 2x2 in squares in white (draw a diagonal line in each of these)
(1) 7.5x7.5 in square, cut diagonally (to make two triangles)
Piecing:
1. Take 9 of the green squares and place a white square on the top left corner (see image) of each. Sew on the line and trim 1/4in away from the seam.
2. Sew one white triangle to either side of the green strip (1.75x9in) and square the block to 6.5in.
3. Assemble the leaves, please referrer to image as layout.
4. Repeat step 3 two more times.
4. With the white corners on the outside of the block, assemble the clover as referenced.
5. Trim block to be 12.5 x 12.5 in.
