Seriously..I think it needs stitches.: Mother's Day MOM Quilt Block Tutorial

Happy Monday!

I'm back to share another quilt block tutorial for my National Day scrap quilt. This time it's a block for Mother's Day, which was on May 10th this year.

This would make a cute zip pouch, I think, for my mom. 🤔 Here is how it goes together.

Fabric A (background):

(6) 1" sq. (~)

(2) 1 1/4" sq. (+)

(2) 1 1/4 x 2 1/4"

(2) 1 3/4" sq.

(2) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2"

(2) 2 1/2 x 8 1/2"

Fabric B (M's):

(4) 1 x 1 1/4" (@)

(4) 1 1/4" sq. (+)

(4) 1 1/4 x 3 3/4"

(2) 1 3/4" sq.

Fabric C (heart):

(2) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2"

(1) 2 1/2 x 3"

Double Upper Corners

1. Place a square at the left end or left upper corner of a rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
2. Stitch from right upper to left lower corner.
3. Clip, flip & press.
4. Place a square at the right end or right upper corner of a rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
5. Stitch from left upper corner to right lower corner.
6. Clip, flip & press.

*Using above method, (2) 1 1/4" sq. of Fabric B and 1 1/4 x 2 1/4" rect. of Fabric A-long edge at the top, make one unit. REPEAT for total of TWO of these units.

*Repeat these steps using (2) 1" sq. of Fabric A and 1 3/4" sq. of Fabric B. REPEAT for total of TWO of these units.

*Repeat these steps using (2) 1 3/4" sq. of Fabric A and 2 1/2 x 3" rect. of Fabric C-long edge at the top.

*Repeat these steps using 1" sq. of Fabric A-left upper corner, 1 1/4" sq. of Fabric A-right upper corner, and 1 3/4 x 2 1/2" rect. of Fabric C-short edge at the top.

*Repeat these steps using 1 1/4" sq. of Fabric A-left upper corner, 1" sq. of Fabric A-right upper corner, and 1 3/4 x 2 1/2" rect. of Fabric C-short edge at the top.

---------------------

Assemble block, using scant quarter inch seams, and you will have an 8 1/2" (8" finished) MOM block. 💗

To find all of the other National Day blocks, I'm keeping them all organized on their own page. Or you can click on the button up in the right side bar. This is the 70th block I think. I'm almost halfway to my goal of 144!

If you sew any blocks from this or any of my patterns, and post pics of them, come find me at these places and tag me:

Happy Stitching!
