Sew Hometown: June

This month marks the halfway point of our Sew Hometown Quilt Along. We are making the Simple Star block this month, which finishes at 12", and we are making three of them.
 When choosing fabrics be aware that one of the pieces being cut from the light fabric is quite large, so double check your sizes and make sure you have enough of it before cutting.
The block itself is quite straightforward.
I used my Folded Corner Clipper for the 4 flying geese units, by using the ruler I was able to cut out the drawing lines steps.
For step 3 in the instructions be sure to make 2 units with the dark square on the left and 2 units with the dark square on the right, so opposite, otherwise when you go to put the block together your units won't all work properly.

I am loving how these blocks are all coming together, and that we make a varying size and amount each month, it keeps it fun and interesting. Have you been sewing along? It is not too late to join we still have the patterns for sale in our shop and if you are from out of town, you can click here to purchase it from our online shop.
