** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting the Color 1 2-7/8" x 11-1/2" strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack the squares( with all edges aligned...I show mine staggered just so you can see what fabric units I am using) and cut once on the diagonal to get eight half square triangles... |
|
|
Next, using the template provided, cut one square from the Color 2 6-3/8" square of fabric... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Using a scant 1/4" seam allowance, sew one Color 1 half square triangle right sides together to the right edge of a Color 3 square. Press the seam towards the triangle. Add another half square triangle to the bottom edge of the square, again pressing the seam towards the triangle. This should measure 4-1/2" along its right angle sides. Make four units like this... |
|
|
Now Sew corner units to opposing sides of your center square, pressing
seams towards the center. Add the last two corner units to the
adjacent sides of the center square to finish up your Art Square!
