Using leftover Spectrum QAL fabric to make a sensational cushion! Part 2 by Claire Haillot June 1, 2021 written by Claire Haillot June 1, 2021 411 I hope you’re enjoying the process of making smaller blocks out of the Spectrum QAL 2020! Making the blocks in a 6″ finished size opens so many new opportunities for finished projects. I’m sewing my 7 favorite blocks of the 12 with The Little Girl in the Blue Armchair collection. I’ll use the mini blocks to create a unique pillow to match my bed runner, but you could make so many other projects, such as a table runner or a baby quilt. I picked my favorite seven blocks from the Spectrum QAL bed runner to make a matching decorative cushion. Here are today’s cutting instructions for Blocks 8, 5, 2, and 11. Block 8 in both sizes Block 8 Here are the cutting instructions for the Block 8, the piecing instructions will remain the same as in the original post, but in a 6½” size (unfinished). Block 5 Mini Spectrum QAL 2020 Block 5 Here are the cutting instructions for Block 5, the piecing instructions will remain the same as in the original post but in a 6½” size (unfinished).
