** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 4 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 5" strip into two 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 1 and Color 2 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strips into two 2-7/8" squares of each. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles of each. Mark and cut the Color 4 2-7/8" x 11-1/2" strip into four 2-7/8" squares and also make half square triangles from those... |
|
|
Sew the Color 1 and Color 2 half square triangles together with Color 4 half square triangles using a scant 1/4" seam. This will give you four half squares in each color combination. Press seams to darker sides, and trim to measure 2-1/2" if needed... |
|
|
Now sew the two Color 3 1" x 21" strips to the Color 1 1-1/2" x 21" strip, along the long edges. Press to the dark side. Mark and cut this into two 10-1/2" long sections... |
|
|
Then sew the Color 1 and Color 4 1-1/2" x 26" strips together along one long edge. Press to darker side and cut apart into four 6-1/2" intervals... |
|
|
To make the block's center unit sew together the Color 4 2-1/2" squares and the Color 2/4 half squares. Make three horizontal rows, pressing the top and bottom row seams to the outside, and the middle row seams to the center. Join the rows to complete the center...on to Page 2! |
