Choose red, gold, orange, or yellow for your block. You will need four fabrics in only one colour to form a gradient from dark to light. Solids are fine, or near solids and simple prints. The block is sewn in 4 layers with the darkest coloured fabric<br /> at the centre (A) and the lightest coloured fabric at the outer edges (D). <br /> <br />Here are my fabric choices, all in yellow-gold:<div><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-836feb1b-7fff-63e8-0885-c2c9abd4f582" style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 498px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 501px;"><img height="498" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Ecjqsih14_r0XtPb50zdmzQ4_GjJQM_xyeM633OvEIk-vkgHvUfeZXqj65ktwnw843r_c6_UI59zmpklFA6veBv1_0xacaWbo8e3yTeWR8G-YlXgRbO1p-SBStxD-Nuoo83a-OdPNwGSPRF_r9UV9QY" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="501" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 54.6496pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 54.6496pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p></span>Cut as follows:<br />From fabric A - 3.5" x 5"<br />From fabric B - 3" x 6.5" and (2) 2" x 5"<br />From fabric C - 3" x 9.5" and (2) 2" x 7.5"<br />From fabric D - 3" x 12.5" and (2) 2" x 10"<div><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-836feb1b-7fff-63e8-0885-c2c9abd4f582" style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 54.6496pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-a9bbd228-7fff-d459-cfa9-c31a6b29f8a4"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 683px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 509px;"><img height="683" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/wZoBWm0JTzmeCzJ5ovtCuiUnlF2e7QGQG3Npdc5wJJdkn32hnbXGEE84DSZy9KmaT1pDuUFKaihxCEu4-VKOBjj-EcPKyTx2H-KcVlQjBd_JuWcarcSQevTDII5z-2cbHd8hYhm-V6Q6ClplClUbeXc" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="509" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 54.649606pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 54.6496pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p></span>Sew the 2" strips of B to either side of A.

</div>For our last BOM of the year, we're going to be making a Slash and Dash block inspired by the San Diego MQG. It was one of their blocks that they made charity quilts out of. Since there were no instructions, I've written out my own version. I've included a few inspiration images from the San Diego MQG.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you want to explore more of her designs, I highly recommend taking the book out of the library.</p><p>Colour palette: Any prints that go together</p><p>Fabric:</p><p>1x 8.5x8.5in square (Main fabric)</p><p>1x 8.5x8.5in square (Lining fabric, can be anything as it won't be seen through the hole. Solids are great for this)</p><p>1x 6x6in approx. panel of fabric (for the inside of the porthole, can be pieced together)</p><p><br></p><p>You're going to need a 4in circle template. You can either make one yourself, print off the one provided (make sure to scale to 100% and measure across once you print it to make sure it is the right size), or pick one up from the BOM table.</p><p><a href="https://patternuniverse.com/files/downloads/4-inch-circle-pattern.pdf" target="_blank">https://patternuniverse.com/files/downloads/4-inch-circle-pattern.pdf</a></p><p><br></p><p>Piecing Instructions:</p><p>1. Line the two 8.5in squares together, right sides together. Find the middle and place the circle template in the middle as close as you can. Trace the template with a heat erasable pen.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH4oLkvsniU5ny54kghmVrziSJtD2UbhdUOeimoMvWGnObSKi3yRel_DrDtTkPj8R9yqE89C8cupJDs8O4mejGw9QrZFNT4ewvq_6ZeXoxS7xEKC11Gf7HAG7BgDyYE4y5gfH2HeCxGyX4MXQdvRYgoMhfBTa7ofRHV06Z6-BJ9p3h-9zyu6MLkTbmg/s4032/20220911_184702.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH4oLkvsniU5ny54kghmVrziSJtD2UbhdUOeimoMvWGnObSKi3yRel_DrDtTkPj8R9yqE89C8cupJDs8O4mejGw9QrZFNT4ewvq_6ZeXoxS7xEKC11Gf7HAG7BgDyYE4y5gfH2HeCxGyX4MXQdvRYgoMhfBTa7ofRHV06Z6-BJ9p3h-9zyu6MLkTbmg/s320/20220911_184702.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQnyjyq58GJ61uNxoCAE9T8mNovE3W7mUIG2gxqaNQRaxZeeRg7EHAmTPk196o-Uas-ufetaq3gM5t17TauNXIimdsOvOyKW53Jh9hgicQay_3YJjuJZqM6qXXMKogMMUbozi85IgMYsHBc5NYPurHoBRdzLW1OBV9hAOu41HRwmazN4oq2RbjHUBOFA/s4032/20220911_185047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQnyjyq58GJ61uNxoCAE9T8mNovE3W7mUIG2gxqaNQRaxZeeRg7EHAmTPk196o-Uas-ufetaq3gM5t17TauNXIimdsOvOyKW53Jh9hgicQay_3YJjuJZqM6qXXMKogMMUbozi85IgMYsHBc5NYPurHoBRdzLW1OBV9hAOu41HRwmazN4oq2RbjHUBOFA/s320/20220911_185047.jpg" width="240"></a></div><br><p><br></p><p>2.

Take the lining fabric and bring it through to the front. Iron it from the back as it doesn't matter if the main fabric pokes through the back a bit, but you don't want the lining to be showing on the front. Ironing the circle might make it a tad wonky, but do your best to straighten it out.

The Executive has been working on some exciting plans to make this year a fun and inspiring year. Here are a few details to get us started:</p><p lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"><b>Registration:</b></p><p lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">If you haven't registered yet, <a href="https://ottawamodernquiltguild.blogspot.com/p/membership.html">go do it now</a> (we'll wait). :) You can pay via Square (small charge), etransfer (also a small charge), cash or cheque at the door. Easy peasy! The registration fee is $40 and includes all of this year's meetings, discounts on workshops, a guest pass and membership in The Modern Quilt Guild. New members are always welcome! </p><p lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;"><b>September's meeting:</b></p><ul style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;" type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;"><span lang="en-CA" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Our first meeting is on Monday, September 26th IN PERSON!

I resisted the urge to call these "flattened curves" because, well, you know. #toosoon Each block is a solid background with two overlapping, improv curves on one of the sides of the block. Completed blocks should measure 10.5" square (finished size 10" square).</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixISVevLyheJ1NITweMFBOvmyJfX3UIXTor7V5a9n7__y1nf9enFxIZ_yNmsUG1-E-i34cao6aVVPsqv2dokPQ2oqYsJP153yk7cdN-4RqlS1j7-oQ94ysaPLbdfWEHOpfMfCuPZ2x_9oxa0mTy1L9_qDSs3vBthy0_tPeXuPL607HKZ6KhMNQHm_v/s2880/20220424_214110.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2880" data-original-width="2866" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixISVevLyheJ1NITweMFBOvmyJfX3UIXTor7V5a9n7__y1nf9enFxIZ_yNmsUG1-E-i34cao6aVVPsqv2dokPQ2oqYsJP153yk7cdN-4RqlS1j7-oQ94ysaPLbdfWEHOpfMfCuPZ2x_9oxa0mTy1L9_qDSs3vBthy0_tPeXuPL607HKZ6KhMNQHm_v/w398-h400/20220424_214110.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fabric Instructions:</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I'm going to be a little more prescriptive this month than normal. This month, each block should have a solid background fabric, and then two contrasting prints for the curves. Solids and prints can be any three colours of your choice, just pick what looks good to you, or what you have available. The main tip is that the three fabrics should be different enough from each other that there is a noticeable difference between the three parts of the completed block (background, curve 1, curve 2).</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOzBa8khLakF_vWPSR4PGJTw0c3OTqqTLa4ROE61Yo8pwAMiIrEWuMHBh0UbcyLTjPy19ib-cmzhuUB0enTyYkqjCoaBcrF7OhZploaeiOkNwjTzUIq8P45xKNH6e3hUhjmusHKVK2X6NWLQZsUmHW5TFuX87MxmC1W9a0DULd-7o1bPwIBdNyslG/s3684/20220424_205921.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3001" data-original-width="3684" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOzBa8khLakF_vWPSR4PGJTw0c3OTqqTLa4ROE61Yo8pwAMiIrEWuMHBh0UbcyLTjPy19ib-cmzhuUB0enTyYkqjCoaBcrF7OhZploaeiOkNwjTzUIq8P45xKNH6e3hUhjmusHKVK2X6NWLQZsUmHW5TFuX87MxmC1W9a0DULd-7o1bPwIBdNyslG/w400-h326/20220424_205921.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">To achieve the 10.5" x 10.5" size of the completed block (finished size will be 10" square), your background piece should measure approximately 11" wide and 10.5" high to start.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Block Construction:</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm using Patchwork Posse's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNS5ln8Wwjw" target="_blank">tutorial on YouTube</a> for this block. The gal behind Patchwork Posse is Becky Jorgensen (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/patchwork_posse/" target="_blank">@patchwork_posse</a>)</span><span style="font-family: arial;">. It looks like she runs an online quilt community and produces a lot of materials and activities to help people connect and improve their quilting skills. Neat!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Becky's instructions are very detailed and she walks everyone through how to create a block with two gentle, overlapping curves. I only used 1 pin at the centre of each curve when I was sewing them, so these curves weren't very dramatic to piece.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The URL for the video tutorial is here in case the link above doesn't work: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNS5ln8Wwjw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNS5ln8Wwjw</a></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fz7tssq0qsLGZu3NLCS71E8OlV8cPJe-k1I7-_ucnkLCxPumUeznXhkGNuG1hZ1rEbdAeC0fkIlV6uYTnO3IeNKaD78MJ1z7acitFydIgmnZEidkP-pC6IazQ3rcQlfHTiU_rULJzbjggMvuDX1VX7FcnhKmmmZqTQKe8aUwVQWqL3buO5YbspZl/s2928/20220424_213051.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2823" data-original-width="2928" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fz7tssq0qsLGZu3NLCS71E8OlV8cPJe-k1I7-_ucnkLCxPumUeznXhkGNuG1hZ1rEbdAeC0fkIlV6uYTnO3IeNKaD78MJ1z7acitFydIgmnZEidkP-pC6IazQ3rcQlfHTiU_rULJzbjggMvuDX1VX7FcnhKmmmZqTQKe8aUwVQWqL3buO5YbspZl/w400-h386/20220424_213051.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><p>So have a go, make a few, and the winner should end up with a pile of rolling hill blocks in a bunch of different colours.
