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.
September: Roman Coins Block
Block is made with a variety of BRIGHT fabrics, set with white sides.
Cut two rectangles from white fabric 3 ½ " x 8 ½ ".
Sew various bright fabric scraps into a 9" x 4" rectangle. Try to make the bright scrap pieces no larger than 2" x 4" so there will be a variety. Trim pieced work to 3 ½ " x 8 ½ ".
Sew white rectangle to each side of pieced section.
See the pattern for the block diagram.
