Well hello again:) After a week away clamping I'm back and it's time for week 33 in the Vintage Block Along I'm sharing another vintage block with you from my grandma's pattern basket:) Today's block is a very classic vintage block and is quick and easy to make. As usual it originally goes by several names. The most popular name is "Road to Oklahoma" but of course I'm calling mine... Road to Grandma's! I'm using Farm Girl Vintage fabric for all of the blocks in my quilt. For today's block you will need one background and three prints. From the background cut: 4 - 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" 2 - 2 1/2" For the "road" you will need to cut: 4 - 2 1/2" squares For one corner cut: 3 - 2 1/2" squares For the other corner cut: 3 - 2 1/2" squares Oh! I almost forgot to tell you about my toy vintage station wagon! I thought I would add it to the photos because it's exactly like the one we had when I was girl. Even though Grandma lived "just around the corner" of course when we all went to grandma's house together as a family we went there in our station wagon:) I remember that whenever grandma was having us over for dinner or for a holiday celebration ... that Mom would send one or two of us kids over there a few hours early "to be grandma's helpers" I always loved it when she sent me! One of the things we did to help grandma was to set the table and I liked going through grandma's cupboards and getting out her special bowls and platters... after going through the linen drawers in her hallway to choose a table cloth:) Okay...now for tutorial! First thing is to make the 4 patch for the center with these four squares. Now grab the 4 background rectangles and 2 each of the corner print squares... and add easy corner triangles onto the rectangles using the Seams Sew Easy Guide Like this! Each should measure 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" Believe it or not that is all there is to making the segments... and now it's time to lay out your block and sew it together:) Fun and Done!! Here's the back of mine:) Road to Grandma's should measure 8 1/2" square before we sew it into our quilt. Tune in next week for another episode! We are getting closer to the end... I have roughly figured out how the quilt is going together and so now we are just filling in the empty spots with a few smaller blocks:) Remember that this is a scrappy quilt and I'm just using all different scrappy backgrounds for all of the blocks. That way we do not need to worry about yardage needed and also... using all different backgrounds adds a certain charm to our Vintage Block Along Quilt!!
