May BOM

May BOM will be a kickoff for a series of Half Square Triangle blocks.  These blocks require 32 half square triangles and 4 blocks will be presented in odd numbered months.  (The group will decide how many months we will do these blocks.)
 
The amount of fabric needed will depend on how many blocks you plan to make, how many fabrics you will use and the finished size of your blocks.
 
For 8”blocks – use 2” finished squares
For 12” blocks – use 3” finished squares
For 16”blocks – use 4”finished squares
 
Fabric Requirements
   2 color block - 16 HST of each color
   3+ color block - 16 HST of background
     16 HST - other colors-qty of each depends on block and color placement

12" finished block cut from accuquilt die
   3"finished squares - (4) HST - 4"x 9"strip     (9"xWOF = 40 HST)

16" finished block cut from acuquilt die
    4"finished squares - (4) HST - 5 1/4"X 11"   (11"X WOF = 28 HST)
