Then mark and cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 17-1/2" strip into seven 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 3 5" x 17-1/2" strip into fourteen 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Mark and cut one Color1and Color 2 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strips and two Color 3 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strips (only one shown here) into two 2-7/8" squares of each.(...so four of Color 3) Stack these and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles of each (eight of Color 3!)... |
|
|
Sew pairs of half square triangles together to make four each in a Color 1/Color 3 combination, and four each in a Color 2/Color 3 combination. Use all 1/4" seams. Press seams to the darker side, and trim these back to measure 2-1/2" if needed... |
|
|
Now, sew together six block rows as shown at left, using 1/4" seams, and pressing in alternating directions by row. Sew the rows together to finish your block! ...on to Page 2! |
