** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack them, and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 2 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack them, and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |
|
|
Now sew a Color 1 and a Color 2 half square triangle together using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seams to darker side. Trim this back to measure 3-1/2" if needed. Make four units like this... |
|
|
Then sew the Color 1 1-1/2" x 26" strip right sides together to the top edge of the Color 2 2-1/2" x 26" strip, using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seam to darker side. Mark this and cut at 6-1/2" intervals... |
|
|
Now piece the block as shown at left. Make three rows, using the Color
1 6-1/2" square as the block's center, pressing seams in
alternate directions by row. Sew the rows together and you've done it!
