Simple Tiny Tuesday

... on a Saturday 

Knowing that Angela is wrapped up in a new school year and getting two kiddos off to college, I offered to create a simple Tiny Tuesday block to make up for the one she missed this week.  And since we will be essentially doubling up on TT this week, I made it VERY easy!

So here goes.  Cut:
  • 4 light/bright blue squares at 2"
  • 1 square at 2" - can be blue or background
  • 1 strip blue @ 1-1/4" x at least 8"
  • 1 strip background @ 1-1/4" x at least 8"

Stitch the two 1-1/4" strips together along the long side and press toward the darker fabric.  This stripset should measure 2" across.


Cut this stripset into 2" segments.


Arrange your pieces in a 9-patch formation.


And voila, you have a block!



Be creative with your fabric and value choices. And have fun!

  4. Very pretty fabric choices. I'm not doing Tiny Tuesday this year, but it's a great block to go with the others.

  5. I'm using a variation of that block in the mystery quilt our guild is finishing up. HSTs in the corners. I like your version! :)

  7. Thanks for pitching in! I'm here on Tuesday to get a double dose of Tiny Tuesday! Last week and the previous week were "crazy" for me too. In fact I really need to get a triple scoop if I want to stay on track. I missed doing the last pink TT at the end of July! Whew...I am off to get creative!!! Thanks again!
