Arkansas - Block 25 of 50! - Celebrating the States Block of the Month - a 4+ year quilt project!

Our version of the Arkansas block needs five fabrics: a light (white), two mediums (one red and one blue), and two darks (one red and one blue). Watch the video to see how we made it! Join us as we make a once in a lifetime quilt to get ready for the Semi-quincentennial! (250 years!) We started this multi year, January 2022 through February 2026, Block of the Month to celebrate the Semi-quincentennial of the USA which will happen in 2026! One block a month for four+ years will make this quilt a manageable project for a once in a lifetime celebration for the United States! 250 years might seem young to our friends from all over the world but we're going to celebrate! It's going to be a great scrappy block quilt! I am making my blocks in Red, White, and Blue but you can use any color combination you want. The color combinations that I've seen posted on our Facebook group, The Quilted Forest Friends, are AWESOME!! I am so looking forward to seeing your finished blocks. Join our Facebook Group and share the blocks you've made! All of the videos in this series may be found in our "Celebrate the States" playlist at this link:    • Celebrate the States! A 4+ year proje...   The block will measure 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" (12" x 12" finished in the quilt.) I've never had the pleasure to travel to Arkansas. One of my favorite TV shows to watch, Fixer to Fabulous, is based in Bentonville, Arkansas, and the scenery they feature on the show keeps drawing me in and I would love to visit the state! I looked up the Top Ten places to visit in Arkansas and the list had some impressive places that are definitely going on my list of places to go! I'll have to look up some quilt shops while I'm there too, of course! For this month's block, you'll need five fabrics: 8 light squares, 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" From two different reds, one medium and one dark, cut: 1 strip, 2" x at least 18" and 8 squares 2" x 2" From two different blues, one medium and one dark, cut: 1 strip, 2" x at least 18" Watch the video for all the cutting and piecing instructions. All of the "Celebrating the States" blocks will be rotary cut. These blocks will be presented in video form only and will come out the last week of the month on our YouTube channel. Share this with your quilting friends and make the blocks together! Join our group on Facebook, The Quilted Forest Friends, and we will have posts where you can share the blocks you have made and be inspired by blocks others have made! We are loving all the blocks you've posted so far! Here's a link to the group:   / 348191223475240   This quilt will be 56 blocks set with 1" sashing, 7 blocks across and 8 blocks down. It will measure 92" x 105". If borders are wanted, a 3" border will make the quilt 98" x 111". If you add a 6" border, it will measure 104" x 117". If no border is wanted, just sew the blocks together for a quilt that will measure 84" x 96". I am starting this quilt now because it has been a goal of mine (since the Bi-centennial when I was a young girl) to make a quilt for this very special, once in a lifetime celebration! #celebratethestates #rotarycutter If you don't want a quilt that is as large as listed, split the blocks for the 50 states into half and put 25 states on the front and 25 states on the back and make it a two-sided quilt. If you use a 1" sashing, 5 blocks across and 5 blocks down and add a 3" border , it would be about 72" x 72". The Quilted Forest is located at 205 North Clark in Forest City, IA.
