** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting the Color 1 2-1/2" x 10" strip into
four 2-1/2" squares...
Then cut the Color 1 2-7/8" x 34-1/2" strip into twelve 2-7/8" squares... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 20" strip into
eight
2-1/2" squares... Cut the Color 2 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strip into two 2-7/8" squares... |
|
|
Next cut the Color 3 2-7/8" x 28-3/4" strip into ten 2-7/8" squares... |
|
|
Pair each of the Color 3 2-7/8" squares with a Color
1 2-7/8" square, right sides together and all edges
aligned. On the back of the top square lightly mark the diagonal, then
sew a scant 1/4" away from each side of the drawn line. Cut this
apart ON the drawn line to get two Half Square units. Trim to measure
2-1/2" if needed. Make a total of twenty Half Squares in this
color combination...
In the same manner, use the two remaining Color 1 2-7/8" squares and the two Color 2 2-7/8" squares to make four more Half Square units in that color combo...on to Page 2! |
