2019 Gypsy Wife Quilt Along - Section 6(left) Assembly

I hope you like puzzles... because assembling the blocks in this section feels like putting a puzzle together to me.  

There are several partials seams that we will need to leave open until the blocks in Section 6 center are ready to add.



 The strips measurements and diagram are located on page 28 of your pattern book.

I began at the bottom, cutting and attaching the strips below and above the SqNsq block.

Then add the strip on the left.

I also sewed the two small strips on the right.


Sew the Courthouse Step block to the top and add the two smaller strips down the right side.


Sew the Hourglass Bordered&Squared to the top of this and add the long strip that goes down the left side.


Next I added the strips above Nurses Cross... Notice that there are two of the smaller strips located here.

  


This next part of the section drove me a bit crazy.  There are several partial seams that you will need to leave some stitches undone until we are ready to complete the seam.  



1.  Sew the two strips that go beside the Hourglass Bordered & Squared block.  Attach the strips but leave a few stitches below the block un-sewn for a partial seam.

2.  Sew the 1 long and 2 shorter strips together that go below the SqNsq block...again a partial seam that needs to be left un-sewn a bit.   
Sew this strip set to the bottom of the SqNsq block.

3.  Sew the SqNsq block to the bordered pinwheel.... leave the partial seam un-sewn a bit.








Sew the Nurses cross to the BorderedPinwheel, SqNsq, and strips 
section. 
                                                 










Then sew the Pinwheel Bordered, SqNsq, and strips to the Nurses Cross section.

To complete this section:
Sew two SqNsq blocks together.
Add the strips below 
Add a third SqNsq 
Then add the strips below that.
Attach this strip of blocks to the 3 strips above.



You can now close up this partial seam and sew the long seam all the way down to the bottom of the section.


Section 6(left) is now complete.
