This makes a 16" block! It's from the late 1800's-early1900's, and makes a wonderful block to showcase a special fabric or motif! |

|
Mark and cut the Color 3 and Color 4 2-1/2" x 20" strips into four 2-1/2" x 5" rectangles... |

Using a scant 1/4" seam, sew together one of each of the two strip sets as shown at left. Press seams towards darker fabric. Cut each in half at the 2-1/2" point... |
