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

Start by marking and cutting the Color 2 and Color 3 5-1/4"
x 10-1/2" strips into two 5-1/4" squares of each. Stack
these and cut them on both diagonals to make eight quarter square
triangles of each...

Now sew together the Color 1 2" x 16", the Color
3 1-1/2" x 16" and the Color 3 2" x
16" strips along one long edge in a scant 1/4" seam
allowance. Press seams to darker side. Mark and cut this at 2"
intervals...

Next sew together the two Color 3 2" x 7-1/2", and one
Color 1 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" strips along one long edge in
a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Press seams to darker side. Mark and
cut this at 1-1/2" intervals...

Then sew together the two Color 1 2" x 4" and one
Color 3 1-1/2" x 4" strips along one long edge in a
scant 1/4" seam allowance. Press seams to darker side. Mark and
cut this at 2" intervals...
