Easy Weathervane Block Tutorial by Bee in My Bonnet

Another week, another block.

This time the Easy Weathervane Block by Bee in My Bonnet. While I agree in theory this is easy, I really struggle with the small blocks, much prefer the larger finished size of 10-12″ square. This one finishes at just 6.5″ x 6.5″ unfinished.

If you wanted to try the same block in a bigger size, another Quilt Block Boot Camp member suggested this one by McCalls which is 12″ x 12″ square.

I struggled a little with the requirements in the tutorial. If you are more methodical than visual, here is what you need (excuse the likely late night quick photo in bad lighting!):

• 1x 2.5″ square centre (strawberry)
• 4x 2.5″ square middle sides (gingham)
• 12x 1.5″ square for the corners (strawberry)
• 20x 1.5″ square white

Really not sure that I will be rushing to make this one again but honestly it was good to know that I will happily avoid small and scrappy blocks!!
