And as you can see, we will be adding sashing to the blocks so they will be ready to fit into the sampler layout ;)
And now, it's time to make the Diamond Blocks also from the Diamond Dash Quilt. We will be making 4 Dash Blocks. You will, again, be using directions from pages 19-24 in your book and the Week 1 - Dash & Diamond Block Pattern for supplemental directions to make your blocks.
And again, we will be adding sashing to the blocks, just take note that two blocks are sashed top and bottom, and the remaining two blocks are sashed just on the bottom.
And just like that, you are done with Week 1!! And now, you get to share your progress!!! It's always fun when we share so we can see each others progress and cheer each other on!
