**Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block** |
 |
Let's start by using a rotary cutter to cut your small strips into two 2- 5/8 " squares ... |
 |
Next, stack your 3-7/8" squares and cut them at the same time on the diagonal, using the rotary cutter, and being careful not to stretch the fabrics ... |
 |
Do the same with the 5-1/4" squares... | |
 |
... and the 6-7/8"... |
|
First, with right sides together, sew your 2-5/8" squares into a four patch, using all 1/4 " seams... |
|
|
|
Now we'll start adding our triangles in courses around the center four square block ...sew one of the smallest triangles...Color 2.... to the side of the 4 patch ... on to Page 2! |
