This BOTEOM will follow the Pantone 2021 Color(s) of the year, which Mickey presented at our April Meeting: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating (yellow)

Mickey has made the Splish Splash block in the Pantone colors for our BOTEOM

Directions:

Cut one 10″ square from one of the two colors

Cut one 5″ square from the other of the two colors

Cut each square twice diagonally. Note that you will only use 2 of the small triangles to complete the block.

Measure and make a mark 2-1/8” down from the point on the large triangles, then draw a horizontal line on both large triangles.

Align and center one small triangle under the lines.

Stitch 1/4″ from each small triangle edge.

Press small triangle up. Trim by setting a square ruler on top of the large triangle and trim overlapping small triangle.

Trim away extra large triangle and press seam open.

Sew pieces together and press

Trim block to 8-1/2″ square
