Pink Lemonade- Part 1

I am so thrilled to hear so many of you want to make Pink Lemonade!! There is always so much going on in the world of quilting blogs that I always wonder if anybody will want to do it. I love to share with you and see your wonderful creations! Thank you for playing along with me!!

Here are the specs:
The quilt, as I have it made will finish approx 17"x 22.5. The  shoofly blocks will finish at 4 1/2" square. This is such a classic fun pattern that it is no wonder I was drawn to the antique.

We are making 6 of them. In the original quilt  the blocks are (2) red, (2)navy and (2) brown or tan. My plan was to make it fairly close to the original- feel free to use what you love.

To make one block:
From the main print (brown, navy and red) cut:
(2) 2 3/8 squares, then once on the diagonal for 4 triangles.
(1) 2" square.
From pink/background cut:
(2) 2 3/8" squares, then once on the diagonal for 4 triangles.
(4) 2" squares

Sew together the print and background triangles to make the corner half square triangles.
Lay your pieces out, as shown.

Sew into rows, (press toward the pink) then sew the rows together.

Make 6 for your quilt and ta-da! Finished for now.

If you haven't done my quiltalongs, I do not have a set time or day that I post the next step. I like to take it nice and slow so there is NO pressure to keep up.
