BLOCK PARTY BONUS BLOCK FOR MARCH 2015 - UNCLE SAM
Since you all are so generous to donate your time for the Quilts of Valor (QOV) here is a block just for you. You do not
need to make this for QOV (unless you want to.) I made three blocks and use it for a table runner for Memorial Day, July
Fourth and Labor Day. Please do bring your block for Block Party Show and Tell in May (or whenever you get it done!)
BLOCK SIZE: 9 Yz " unfinished
For each block cut:
Background - use a medium tan/beige to light brown, solid or print that reads solid
Four (4) 3 'A" squares; labeled A
One (1) rectangle 3 Yi" by 1 Y2"; labeled 6

This pattern is basically a 9-patch. Assemble the hat/face square, the two hand/arm squares, and the leg squares per the
diagram. Then assemble the nine blocks as a 9-patch using the diagram as a guide.
