Patchsmith Sampler Block 33 - Scrapbox

Block 33 - Scrapbox

For this week's Patchsmith Sampler block all you need are twenty four 1½” squares and a nice contrasting background fabric (I like Kona Snow as my go-to background fabric).

Alternatively you can reverse the Scrapbox:

Reverse Scrapbox 

If you want to reverse the Scrapbox you will need to cut:
      One 2½” square for the center;
      Twelve 1½” scrappy squares;
      Two 4½” x 1½” strips; 
      Two 1½” x 6½” strips.

Stitch two scrappy squares together and stitch to either side of the center square to create a unit measuring 4½" x 2½". Next stitched four scrappy squares together and stitch to the top and bottom of the unit so that the unit measures 4½" square. Stitch the 4½" x 1½" strips to the top and bottom of the unit to create a unit measuring 6½ x 4½". Finally sew the two 1½" x 6½ strips to either side of the unit. You now have a Reverse Scrapbox measuring 6½" square.

Next week we revisit Skinny Triangles to create the perfect nesting place for a home-bird!
