South Carolina

This week we are adding South Carolina.

South Carolina's quilting community is influenced by the state's Gullah culture, with quilts often featuring bold patterns and vibrant colors. 

I actually really like this block. It is simple but not boring and that makes me happy. I love an easy to put together block. 

Cutting

Piecing

Using A and B create 4 - 4 patch squares.

Using the remaining squares make a 9 patch for the center of your block.

Sew together C and D to make 4 rectangles.

Sew two to the sides of your 9 patch, switching them so that D is on top on one and on the bottom on the other side.

Sew one between two 4 patches with D on the right and then with the other two with D on the left. 

You should have a line up like this.

Sew your rows together to complete your block.

Not going to lie, I am glad we are getting close to the end of this project. I'm anxious to see it completed.
