Block of The Month 2024: Block #11
Hello all. The November block is called Double Monkey Wrench. This is third of four blocks made from squares, rectangles, and half square triangles (HSTs). For this block, we need the focus fabric, a white fabric, a light, and a dark coordinating fabric. Remember, all our blocks end up 12.5" X 12.5" (a 12" finished block.)
Cut list -- For one block
Focus Fabric: One 4.5" square
White: Two 5" squares; Four 2.5" X 4.5" strips
Light Coord. Fabric: Four 2.5" X 4.5" strips
Dark Coord. Fabric: Two 5" squares
Assembling the block: Use a quarter inch seam.
Make half square triangles (HSTs):
• Pair up each dark coordinating 5" square with a white square. Draw a line on one diagonal with a pencil or other fabric marking tool, on the white fabric of each pair. Pin or clip in two places to hold together. Sew a seam ¼" from either side of this line. Cut apart on the diagonal line. Press the seams to the dark. Trim each new square to 4.5". To do this, use a ruler with a 45 line. Place the 45 line on the center seam and trim off flags and extra fabric.
Make other sub-units:
• Pair each strip of white with a strip of light coordinating fabric. Sew right sides together along the long edge. Press to the light coordinating fabric and check that each unit is 4.5" square.
Final assembly:
• Arrange sub-units and focus fabric square as shown in the final block. I like to start with the middle piece of focus fabric. Next, place half square triangles in the corners with the dark triangle facing out. Finally, place the light coordinating units so the light coordinating fabric is facing out.
• Sew the horizontal rows together. Alternate the direction you press each of the rows, with the center row pieces being pressed toward the focus fabric. These rows should be 4.5" wide and 12.5" long.
• Sew the three rows together, the seams should nest. Press toward the center.
• Finished block should be 12½" X 12½".
