Service Project

Please consider joining your fellow members in making "Friendly Service" blocks for Staben House quilts.

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.

July: Pinwheel Star Block

Select four fabrics of varying shades of one BRIGHT color (purple, green, aqua, yellow, fuchsia, etc). The lightest will be the background.

From the lightest fabric cut:

• 4 squares 2 1/2"

• 4 rectangles 2 1/2" × 4 1/2"

From second fabric, cut 8 squares 2 1/2 " (these will be your points on the flying geese blocks)

From third and fourth fabrics, cut 2 squares at 3" (these will make the half square triangles for the center pinwheel)

See directions for flying geese blocks and half-square triangle blocks. See the block pattern for layout.

See the pattern for the block diagram.
