** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 2 4-1/2" x 9" strip into two 4-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Then mark and cut the Color 1 and Color 2 4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strips into two 4-7/8" squares of each. Stack these squares and cut them on the diagonal to make four Half Square Triangles of each... |
|
|
Sew these half square triangles together to make half squares, using a scant 1/4" seam. Press the seam allowance towards the darker fabric. Square this off to be 4- 1/2" if needed. Make four units like this... |
|
|
Now sew the Color 1 and Color 2 2-1/2" x 15" strips right sides together along one long edge, again using a scant 1/4" seam. Press the seam allowance towards the darker fabric. Mark and cut this at 2-1/2" intervals... |
 |
|
Next sew those little units we just made together into four patch squares. Make three units like this, pressing seams to one side...on to Page 2! |
