This is part 10 of a 13 part quilt-along series. Find the rest of the posts in this series by clicking on the links at the end of this post.

Welcome to Week 10! This is our last block in the quilt-along. Our remaining weeks will be spent on catching up, some tips from other participants, assembling the final quilt top, and some photos of finished quilts. This block is named Summer Dreamin' which is pretty appropriate considering we have just started to feel some cool weather down here in Texas.

This block is small and simple and uses the handy dandy half-square triangle we have encountered many times in the last few weeks. The Chef's original design for this block was 16" finished but we have shrunken it down to 8" finished. Each HST unit finishes at 2" - cutting instructions are for 2⅞” squares but cut to 3" if that's what you are comfortable with.

Some notes:

Use a scant ¼” seam.
Depending on your cutting method, you may have extras each week of common sizes used throughout the quilt. I suggest you label a couple of plastic bags for “2½″ squares” and “2⅞” squares” so you can make use of the extras another week.
