Helping with rotary cutting instructions for quilt 3 in Civil War Anniversary Quilts

Hi all,
The woman who was doing the rotary instructions for this quilt is having personal issues so I've stepped in to help.  I'll be adding a block every week (possibly more)  Linda had done blocks 1-8 (available at Rosemary Youngs groups:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/civilwardiaryquilt/ under files)
Here are blocks 9-11 if you want to join in.

#9, block 107 Camp for the Winter, page 237 of Civil War Anniversary Quilt by Rosemary Youngs

Cut:

A 1 ¼ X 5 cream (4)

B 1 ¼ X 5 blue (4)

C 1 ¼ X 5 red(4)

D 1 ¼ X 5 yellow/orange (4)

E 1 ¼ X 5 lavender (2)

F 2 X 5 lavender (2)

G 1 ¼ X 5 brown (2)

Use scant ¼”. Sew 2 strip sets using A, B, C, D, E, & G. Press with Best press, starch or sizing (as edge will be on bias), trim to 5” square and cut on diagonal across strips from base (lower left) of A color (cream) up to upper right (G or F color) . Save the ones with a long edge with cream (discard other or make another block)

Sew 2 strip sets using A, B, C, D, F. repeat sets above

Sew the 4 resulting triangle units together with long cream strips in middle (pinwheel style)

To save fabric:

A 1 ¼ X 5 cream (4)

B 1 ¼ X 4 blue (4)

C 1 ¼ X 3 1/4 red(4)

D 1 ¼ X 2 1/2 yellow/orange (4)

E 1 ¼ X 2 lavender (2)

F 2 X 2 lavender (2)

G 1 ¼ X 1 1/2 brown (2)

Sew strip sets as above

Trim resulting triangular block on 45 degree with 2 straight edges at 5” (or larger, you can trim block to 6 ½ after sewing together). Sew together.

Block 10, No News of Importance (#108 on page 238, Civil War Anniversary Quilt by Rosemary Youngs)Cut:

Fussy cut 4 ½” square

4 @ 2” squares of lavender

4 @ 2 ½” squares of tan, cut once on diagonal

Sew 2” lavender to two triangles of tan, trim tips making sure you have ¼” sewing allowance beyond the lavender square. Make 4

Sew the triangle blocks in step above to each side of 4 ½” center square.

Block 11, The Keys of My Heart (#109, page 239
Cut 6 red 2” squares, draw diagonal on wrong side of 2 of these

Cut 6 blue 2” squares, draw diagonal on wrong side of 2 of these

Cut 4 tan 2” X 3 1/2” rectangles

Put red square with drawn diagonal right sides together at bottom of tan rectangle, sew on diagonal line. Repeat with other red square and with blue squares, making 4. Trim ¼” from stitching line towards point to reduce bulk and press colored triangle back to right side.

Sew red square to blue square, red on top then add the rectangle unit from step 1 above on the right side with red or blue small triangle at bottom (next to blue square) with diagonal of colored triangle sloping from bottom left to midpoint of tan on right.

Do You know about the Dresden Challenge?

I'm working on a double-pointed rainbow dresden on black--have 40 sets of 5 blades sewed, 4 of them already appliqued to background and sewed together--see pic--and another set of 4 pinned to background ready to applique.  Not sure how many full circles, how many half circles (quilt sides, top and bottom) but I know I need 4 1/4 circles for the corners, LOL!
Here's link for the Challenge:

Beginner's Quilt Along update

Beginner's Quilt Along (it's a Mystery!)

(see button at right)

Hi all,
Pat Sloan & Michelle at Quilting Gallery Blog (http://quiltinggallery.com/2012/05/31/beginners-quilt-along-fabric-requirements-and-reliable-iron-give-away/) are hosting a Mystery Quilt a long (see link button on the side at the right)--join us. I haven't decided for sure what fabrics I'll be using but I'm leaning towards either South Sea's Essential Scrolls (I have oodles) or Northcott's Stonehenge (also oodles of these)!! I'd use Pat's Eat Your Fruits and Veggies (especially the batiks) but they are not out yet!! If you want a sneak peek at these Pat's lucious fabrics (and seriously cool pattern!) look here:

Donation to Quilter's Hall of Fame

This is in El's honor.  Had to make a 24"  using at least one block from one of El's patterns (free from webside, booklets or books).  I chose Liberty Star from Victory Quilts, used the same fabrics I did on my Victory Quilt (which made the book!!!)  Sent in with $10 and they get to keep it (I think they will be auctioned).  There will be a "Vote for your favorite" with pennies..I added a pic of my Victory Quilt with El on one side and me on the other!
