UFO Bee Block of the Month 2023
In 2024, we're going to sew Puzzle blocks, instead of Star blocks.
Block 1 - "Old Maid's Puzzle" block Link The January Block of the Month
Block 2 - "Dutchman's Puzzle" block Link The February Block of the Month
Block 3 - "Chinese Puzzle" block Link The March Block of the Month
Block 4 - "Bachelor's Puzzle" block Link The April Block of the Month
Block 5 - "Indiana Puzzle" block Link The May Block of the Month (Special Note: This is a 9" block, made of 9 3" segments, 3 segments per all 3 lines. However, to make it into a 12" block, enlarge those segments to 4" each. So, to make a half square triangle (this block has 9 of them), cut your squares 4 7/8" or 5" and trim to size. On the center segment, get some graph paper, draw a 4" square, mark the center point on all 4 sides, and draw lines to make a square in a square. Cut out the square and one of the half square triangles and draw around them and add your 1/4" seam allowance to all sides. )
Block 6 - "Arrowhead Puzzle" block Link Everyone calls this "garlic knots". Any questions, please give Rebecca a call
