Finished block size: 8-½” x 4-½”
Fabrics: Any color/any scale stripes on a white to off-white background.
Substitute striped fabrics (any color and any scale) in place of the coral used on the block on MQG’s website. If you don’t have any striped 1-½” strips, Renee will bring some to the in-person June guild meeting to share.
Please use a white to off-white for the background color. Renee’s sample blocks are made with Kona Dove, for reference.
