Service Project
Please consider joining your fellow members in making "Friendly Service" blocks. The blocks will be assembled to make quilts for Staben House. Waukegan Township’s Staben House provides transitional housing and community enrichment services to homeless women with children.
The pieced block will measure 8.5" with seam allowance (finished size within the quilt will be 8”), and we are hoping to collect a large amount to put together some sweet quilts for the children residing at Staben House.
Download a copy of the instructions for every block.
November: Paper Pieced Fish Block
Fish can be any color! The pattern has six sections for the fish, so use a variety of fabrics and/or colors. The background should be in blue for the ocean. Please use only one fabric for all your ocean blue sections.
Refer to the paper piecing instructions if you are unfamiliar with the technique. When you print the template provided, confirm it measures 8 ½" before you begin (printing can sometimes change sizing).
Fish eye can be colored in with a permanent marker. Trim the finished block to 8½ inches and remove the paper.
See the pattern for the block diagram.
