companions designer sew along welcome to our first stop on the i m sarah maxwell and i m one of the owners of homestead hearth a brick and mortar and online quilt store located in mexico missouri our store is located in a really unique building just off the town square originally built as a chicken hatchery in the early 1900s the building had many uses over it s lifetime and in 2001 my husband and i bought it with the idea of opening a quilt store dolores smith my long time quilt show buddy had previously owned a store so we decided to go into business together 12 years later homestead hearth occupies the majority of the 10 000 square foot building we re known for our carefully labeled block of the month shipments and our huge selection of 1800s reproduction fabrics in recent years we ve expanded to carry more modern brighter fabrics too to appeal to all customers you can see our selections and visit the store online if you re too far away to visit this week we ll be talking about sarah s block for the quilt in a few weeks we ll be back with a post featuring dolores block let s get started cutting instructions background print 1038 0188 cut 2 squares 2 7 8 x 2 7 8 cut once on the diagonal red print 1034 0111 cut 2 squares 2 7 8 x 2 7 8 cut once on the diagonal gold print 1033 0128 cut 4 squares 2 7 8 x 2 7 8 cut once on the diagonal black print 1035 0112 cut 4 squares 2 7 8 x 2 7 8 cut once on the diagonal green print 1702 0116 cut 4 squares 2 7 8 x 2 7 8 cut once on the diagonal sewing directions this block is made up of half square triangles hst there are many ways to construct these units and i m going to show you my personal favorite i use a tool designed by judy martin called the point trimmer you can order it here after cutting our triangles as listed above we use the handy point trimmer to nip off those little pointy ends it makes lining up the pieces much easier really improves accuracy sew the red print and background triangles together make 4 hst press toward the red print each hst will measure 2 ½ x 2 1 2 unfinished note how there are no pesky dog ears hanging off the ends of the pieced unit thanks to the point trimmer repeat these steps to make the other hst units for this block sew 4 of the black print and gold print triangles together to make 4 hst press toward the black print sew 4 of the green print and gold print triangles to make 4 hst press toward the gold print finally sew the 4 green print and black print triangles together to make 4 hst press towards the black print now it s time to sew the rows together row 1 press seams to the right row 2 press seams to the left row 3 press seams to the right row 4 press seams to the left if you are worried about lining up the seams and points when sewing the rows together consider using fork pins you can order them here they work miracles just line up the points you are trying to match then use a fork pin to anchor the intersection press the seams for each row the block should measure 8 ½ x 8 ½ unfinished and that s it another block is done if you prefer the ease of accessing a pattern via a pdf file then click here for a pdf version are you excited to see how the entire mystery comes together be sure to check back each week for another installment if you want to make a quilt just like ours you can still buy a kit of fabrics what s a sewalong without giveaways please
