I probably should have used a slightly darker print in the center but overall I'm happy with how it turned out. The Memory Block went together quickly and I love the secondary design that appears when multiple blocks are sewn together. In this example I added in orange sashing and cornerstones for a different look. Great place for some fancy quilting or embroidery! Here's the same layout in fall colors and with sashing and cornerstones added.Īnd this is an on-point layout with alternating plain squares. Here's a typical 4 x 4 layout using similar colors to my block. However, if you are making a quilt with this block and wanted the seams to nest, I would suggest pressing half the blocks with the seam allowances going away from the center of the block. I found it easiest to press the seam allowances toward the center of the block. The seams should nest nicely.Īll that's left is the pressing. ![]() It's kind of confusing but I hope you can see it pretty clearly in the picture below. Press the seam allowances away from the Hourglass units and the White/Black Half Square Triangle units. Sew the units into five rows as shown below.

Open up the Step 5 units and press the seam allowances.
