Our current BOM is the Patience Corner block.

Cut:

(4) 6-1/2" x 3" - fabric A

(4) 4" x 4" - fabric B

(4) 4" x 3" - fabric C

Make a unit of the block:

• Sew fabric A to fabric B
• Sew your AB patch to fabric C

That's it! Make four of these units and combine them to create your block. You can arrange the units in your block any way you choose. Make them in red, white, and blue and bring to the guild meeting or send them along with a friend if you can't make the meeting!
