Happy Friday! The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and I have the theme from Laverne & Shirley stuck in my head. All is good :) And we are on block #6 of the hand pieced quilt along which means we are half way through the blocks. It's moving fast and I am really enjoying it. I appreciate your comments and e-mails telling me how much you are enjoying the piecing too.This week I chose Shoo-Fly. Lots of pieces. but I think it will be worth it. I am waiting for
Jacque's comment on this one! ha!
For the block you will need:
2 ~ 4 inch squares of background fabric
2 ~ 4 inch squares of print
10 ~ 1 1/2 inch squares of background fabric
10 ~ 1 1/2 inch squares of print
Draw your cut and sew lines on the back of all the 4 inch squares, like the above pictures.
Cut your triangles apart. Sew your half-square triangles together with one background triangle and one print triangle. You will have 16 units.
You will have to trim your HST unit up about 1/16 of an inch on all sides.
Lay your squares out like this picture. I think this is going to be so cute as a 6 inch block!
Here are all of my blocks so far...I could squeal! They make me happy :)

Aww, very cute! Love how they're all looking together
I just love the way these blocks look in their Flea Market Fancy finery. And let's hear it for Laverne & Shirley...I love that show!
ooohhh this is just the cutest!! these blocks look amazing all laid next to each other, just perfect fabric choices. xo
Really? 52 pieces for a 6.5 inch block? You have got to be kidding me. huh. Surprisingly, my blocks have all turned out great...no matter how much whining and/or complaining I do. haha. Okay. I'm up for the challenge. Again. Still..you're crazy!
You know I love you. Right?
Can't wait to see the finished piece. Such fun colors.
I love your tutorials. Thank you so much from a newbie quilter who has made none of these blocks!
Nice tutorial, thanks to author. I think you should record a video guide about your article and put it up in the TikTok. And if you want to promote it, you can always buy tiktok followers in order to wind up their number.
