<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone - Please see the main page of the Empire Quilter's Website for a printable PDF of instructions for September's Block of the Month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The block will be a paper-pieced version of "Birds in the Air". The tutorial is from Generations Quilt Patterns by Julie Baird. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Please make the block that finishes to 4". The colors should be yellow and Quilter's choice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many members have asked us to offer larger blocks; as a result wherever possible in the 2017-2018 Season, we are going to honor that request and offer larger (10-1/2 to 12") blocks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for your participation in the Block of the Month</span><br />

<b>If possible leave the paper in. This will hold the block to size as all the seams of a paper pieced block are on the bias. Don’t fret if they came out! It happens. As a general rule it’s good to keep the papers in until after the blocks are sewed together. Always remove papers (whatever is still in the quilt top) before layering, quilting, binding.</b><br />

This block was recommended to me by Karen Baskett. It is a paper pieced “Beginners Block” by Mary Dorchak, a member of the Yahoo Carol Doak Quilting Group.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you have been hesitant about jumping in and giving paper piecing a try, this 6" block is the perfect place to start.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The finished block looks like the one below.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
You will need seven pieces of fabric - the specifics are shown below:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Cut sizes and colors for Fabric:<br />
<br />
1. 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ (maker’s choice)<br />
2. 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ (cream)<br />
3. 2 ¼ x 3 ¾ (cream)<br />
4. 2 ¾ x 3 ¾ (maker’s choice)<br />
5. 3 ¾ x 6 ¾ (maker’s choice)<br />
6. 3 ½ x 7 ½ (cream)<br />
7. 3 ½ x 7 ½ (cream)<br />
<br />
<b><u>Preparation:</u></b><br />
<br />
Print the pdf template on paper piecing specific paper. (see Empire Home Page for template). Cut out the template, it’s best to leave a bit around the edges and trim once completed. Stitch length should be shortened for paper piece to make it easier to remove the paper later on. Cut fabric as above. 1 each of the 7 for each block you wish to produce.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Assembly:</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step One:</u> Turn the template over with the back side up. Place fabric piece #1 right side up covering the space labeled 1 on template. Fabric should overlap on each side by at least ¼ inch. Place fabric piece #2 right side down on top of Fabric #1. Pin in place. Thin pins are best for this. Turn over, and sew along the line on the template that is shared by piece 1 and 2. <b>Fold the paper along the line you just sewed so you can trim the excess fabric along that seam away. You can use a postcard or similar sized card to fold the paper on the line you just sewed then trim fabric edge to ¼ inch using a ruler or add a 1/4" tool. Open the paper again and finger press the seam open.</b><br />

Choose a 6" square of solid white (or ivory, parchment, a pale pastel) for the background, and a floral bouquet. Cut the bouquet in a very simple shape echoing the design (not cutting around each leaf and petal). Gentle curves are much easier to applique.</div>

This quilt from <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/color-inspiration-from-rice-98466">Apartment Therapy</a> is the inspiration for our April block: Retro One-Patch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose 9 fabrics from your stash that say "so twentieth century!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like how the quilt above has darks, lights, plaids, big and small prints, solids, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a 6" square from each. Sew them into three rows of three, as shown below. Our quilt will have a huge variety of fabrics. </div>
