Breast Cancer Awareness Quilt



Remember back in May when we decided to create Evie's Block to make a Breast Cancer Awareness quilt?
Well, the due date is fast approaching! Bring your pink and white Evie’s Blocks, I mean, units to the August 3rd meeting.

Directions:
Stack a white-on-white (W) fabric on a pink (P) fabric for a quick cutting technique. If the fabric widths are 42”+, you can use one 2 ½” strip of each fabric. Or 8” x 16” of each fabric. (A fat quarter will produce two Evie’s Block or 4 units!)

Cut from each fabric:
2: 6 ½” x 2 ½” strips
3: 2 ½” x 2 ½” squares
3: 7” x 2 ½” strips
Sew:
2 ½” squares: PWP & WPW  into 2 ½” x 6 ½” sections
7”strips: WPW & PWP into 7” x 6 ½” sections

 
 
Sew into Units:
Unit 1: 6 ½” P strip + 2 ½” PWP section + 7” WPW section + 6 ½” W strip.  
Unit 1 Negative: 6 ½” W strip + 2 ½” WPW section + 7” PWP section + 6 ½” P strip.

Unfinished size: 6 ½” x 13” using ¼” seam allowances.
Keep the units separate and bring to the August PWQuilters’ meeting. The quilt will be a mix & match assembly quilt.
