Ok guys, how are we doing on our cutting? I love seeing the progress photos in the Flickr group, don't forget to add yours! Today starts week 3, so halfway there and let's get started!!
Block Assembly
1. Take 1-5" X 10" rectangle and sew a 1 1/2" X 5" piece to each 5" side of the rectangle. Press towards outer fabrics.
 
 
2 Sew a 1 1/2" X 12" piece to each 12" side of the rectangle. Press towards outer fabrics. Repeat until you have all 45 mixed blocks. Square blocks to 7" X 12"
 

 
*You will only need 44 blocks to complete the quilt top, you can use the extra block on the back or use it for a label for your quilt!
 

That's it for this week! I can't wait to see ya'll's finished blocks!  How is everyone doing?

You are going to laugh at me but I keep checking to see if you have posted wk 2 and 3 and NOTHING. I was checking under the tab: Brick Road Sew Along. Finally I decided I should just check your home page and was going to leave you an email where low and behold: There were week 2 AND week 3!! So needless to say I am a bit behind! But I am still going to make this quilt. I really like the pattern and the colors you chose. :-)
