*You will need three
1/4" curved bias strips.
Cut the longest one 12"
and press one end under.
Cut the other two 6" long
and no pressing under because
they will tuck under the
long stem and the flower tops.
*Cut 2 - 1/4" straight bias
2" long for the bird legs:)
This is the shape that you will use
to make all three sizes
of the stacked Shaker Boxes.
You can see that there are
3 widths marked by the stitched lines
and you will use them to mark your
sewing lines onto each interfacing...
Like this:)
Also mark the line across
where the lid goes.
Before sewing each shape
sew the fabrics and the lids together
and press the seams open for less bulk:)
Before sewing the shape for the bird
you will need to sew
these two fabrics together as well.
You will need to clip seam allowance
in the following shapes before turning:
Cleavage in the star...
pineapple top and heart
Inner curves in the bird
and the three flowers.
Block Nine is all shaped up...
pressed and ready to go!!
Pin baste on your large design board
and then add the Sue Glue.
Use your best friend (16 1/2" Trim-It Ruler)
to place the shapes and create your block.
When your glue is dry
it's time for applique!!
Use your favorite method of applique...
either by hand or by machine.
Either way you will want to
match the thread to each applique piece.
**If you are doing it by machine
you do not need to change
the bobbin thread
to match because that will
be on the back of the block...
you will only need to
change the top thread
to match applique shapes.
for me to make and design as well.
Did you know that the pineapple
was a symbol of Welcome in colonial times?
It's one of the reasons that
I wanted to include it in this quilt:)
WELCOMING and CHEERFUL
should measure 16 1/2" square
after trimming it up with the ruler:)
It will finish at 16" square
after sewing it into your quilt:)
And speaking of sewing...
after this block is completed
you can sew row three together
and add it to rows one and two.
!YaY!
look on my sewing room design wall...
now I can add block nine:)
Thanks for "tuning in" for the
block nine tutorial and I will
be back here next week to start
on the last row with block ten!!
