Went back to school today. Rode home with Daddy on tractor & wagon. Mary Ann was sick today. Opal’s going with Jerry Porter from New Cambria. Ordell Penton went by tonite on M.B.
So Opal has a boyfriend . . . hmmm. There’s another thing I’m going to have to ask her about.
I don’t know who Ordell Penton is. And she’s well enough to go back to school, although it seems sickness is making its rounds.
I think it would have been fun to ride home on the tractor and wagon!
On this day, Colleen Kay Hutchins, 25, of Salt Lake City, Utah, became Miss America 1952 . . . just a bit of trivia for you today.
Option 1 (large quilt):
Today we’ll be working on Setting Block 6 again. You’ll need the big Fabric #1 square and the four tiny Fabric #3 squares.
On the back side of each tiny square, draw a diagonal line with a marking pencil.
Next, we’ll work with one square at a time. Lay a tiny square on one corner of the big square, right sides together, lining up the edges with the drawn line running as shown.
Pin in place, and stitch ON the drawn line from corner to corner of the small square.
Trim off the excess fabric 1/4″ outside the stitched line.
Press the triangle out.
Repeat for the other three corners of the square, until your unit looks like this:
Store it back in your “Setting Block 6” baggie.
Option 2 (small quilt):
There is no step today for you Option 2 folks. See you tomorrow!
