** Preparing the
Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
 |
Stack
your fabrics as shown, and using a rotary cutter, cut the fat strips
into two 4-7/8"squares...and the thin strips into ten 2-7/8"
squares. |
 |
|
|
 |
Next, stack
the resultant squares by size, and cut, again using the rotary cutter, on the
diagonal., being careful not to stretch fabrics. You may need to cut a few stacks of the
smaller squares rather then trying to cut them all at once. |
|
 =
|
Sewing with a
scant 1/4 " seam...sew the large triangles together, again being careful not to
stretch the fabric. Do the same with all of the smaller triangles. Press seams towards
darker fabrics. Trim the smaller to 2-1/2" and the larger to
4-1/2" if needed... |
|
 |
Simple as
Pie!...take the sewn together triangles, and using scant 1/4" seams, put them together
in this order! Again, press seams towards darker fabrics, and when piecing rows, alternate
the direction of the pressing. Hey! Good
Job! You've now made a "Double T" Block!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all
of you!...and as ever ... Happy Quilting!!...Marcia
