** Preparing the Pieces
and Sewing the Block ** |

Start by marking and cutting the
Color 1 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2"
squares... |
|
|
Next, mark and cut the Color
3 7" x 14" strip into eight 3-1/2"
squares... |
|
|
Now sew together the Color 2 and
Color 3 2" x 20" strips along one long edge. Press
seams towards darker fabric. Cut at 2" intervals to make eight
pieced units... |

Flip the previously made units
and sew together to make four-patch units. You need four. Trim these
back to be 3-1/2" square if needed... |
|
|
Now sew two larger four-patch
units using the Color 1 and Color 3 3-1/2" squares. Trim
these back to be 6-1/2" square if needed... |
|
|
Then sew four four-patch
units using the smaller four-patches and the remaining Color
3 3-1/2" squares. Trim these back to be 6-1/2"
square if needed...on to Page
