Here's my 25" square Homestead quiltalong for 2024. I hope you'll sew along!!

Here are a few from the antique quilt.

So we will start making 9 patches for Homestead.
We will need light/dark/ and red. (You can choose to use a medium for a light or dark)
I'll be using the words light and dark,
We will make two 9 patches that are the same.
Cut 2 dark 1 1/2"x6 1/2" strips
Cut 1 light 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strip.
Cut 2 of the same light 1 1/2"x 3 1/2"
Cut one red 1 1/2" x3 1/2"
Sew these strips as shown. Press carefully toward the dark/red.
Subcut these into 1 1/2" pieces. You will have 4 dark-light-dark and 2 light-red-light
Sew them into 9 patches with the red in the center.
Perfect! Press carefully.
Now make 8 more sets. I opted to use the same red center and change up the light and dark.
If you are new to Humble Quilt sewalongs- it is random. I don't "release" on any specific days. Easy steps have less time between.
On another note:
My daughter says please tell the Humble Quilt ladies they really brightened my day.
Thank you to all who took the time to send her a birthday greeting. It means so much to me and her!
Have a great weekend. Please feel free to share your 9 patches on the Facebook group- find it
