You'll make two side units for the Weeping Willow quilt block.

What You'll Need for Each Side Unit

  • One 2-1/2" x 14-1/2" background bar
  • One 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" background bar
  • One 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" background square
  • Two 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" dark green bars
  • One 2-1/2" x 8-1/2" dark green bar
  • One 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" light green rectangle
  • Two 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" light green squares
  • One Strip Set 2 segment

Refer to the illustration and arrange the patches as shown before you begin to sew.

C-1 - Left Side Unit

  1. Sew a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" light green square to the bottom of a 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" dark green bar. Press seam allowance either way.

  2. Sew a 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" dark green bar lengthwise to a background bar of the same size. Press seam allowance towards the background bar.

  3. Sew a Strip Set 2 segment to the top of the unit you assembled in step 2, with its light green portion adjacent to the dark green bar. Press seam allowance either direction.

  4. Sew a 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" light green rectangle to the top of the 2-1/2" x 8-1/2" dark green bar. Sew a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" light green square to the bottom of the bar. Press seam allowances either direction.

  5. Press all four long units together side by side. Press seam allowances away from the center.

  6. Sew a 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" background square to the bottom of the unit. Press.

  7. Repeat to make the C-2 unit for the left side of the block. Assemble it in the same way, but as a mirror image of the first. Refer to the illustration as necessary.
