September 2019 - Hammonasset

Named after our longest beach in Connecticut (2 miles), Hammonasset 

(pronounced Ham-in-ass'-it) is a quilt featuring the colors of beach towels.

Choose any number of solid colors. Cut six rectangles 2" x 3.5."

Sew them in a row. Press. 

Choose a solid white, off-white, or low-volume print. Cut one 4.5" square. 

Then cut it in half on the diagonal. 

Sew the white triangles to the stripes, as shown above. Press. Trim to a 6" square.

Making this block can be addictive.  :)

Enter the drawing once for each block that you bring.

Here are just a few ideas for using these pretty blocks.

These blocks were brought to the September meeting. Nice job! 

Congratulations to Diane who won the blocks.
