Empire Quilters Block of the Month – September 2007

Autumn Leaves on Window Panes — 8" finished block (8½" unfinished)

Take two autumn colors, a patterned white and a patterned green.

Instructions:

1. Cut two 4½" squares from each fabric color.
2. Trace two oval forms from the white fabric and two oval forms from the green fabric. Appliqué the ovals, centering each diagonally on the opposite colored fabric square, green on white and white on green. If you hand appliqué the oval, add a scant quarter inch to the oval for the seam allowance. If you machine appliqué, be sure to use a stabilizer underneath the square fabric.
3. Sew the squares together making sure that the white squares and the green squares are opposite each other Finally, trim the block to 8½ inches unfinished.
