** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting two Color 1 side/middle triangles, one center square and four parallelograms from one quarter yard by width of fabric. ( I show it cut from two chunks of cloth here, just as it was easier to draw this way, but you can cut it more efficiently!) |
|
|
Then cut four corner triangles and six Side/Middle triangles from one quarter yard by width of fabric. ( Again, I show it cut from two chunks of cloth here, just as it was easier to draw this way, but you can cut it more efficiently!) |
|
|
To sew the block's vertical side strips, sew parallelograms to each sort side of a side triangle, using scant 1/4" seams, and pressing towards the darker fabric. Then add corner triangles to each end, pressing to the dark side. Make two units like this; the second will be a mirror image of this one. Trim these off to measure 3-1/2" x 12-1/2"...on to Page 2! |
