** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 3-7/8" x 23-1/4" strips into six 3-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make twelve half square triangles (HSTs)... |
|
|
Then do the same with the Color 2 strip of the same size... |
|
|
Sew these HSTs together in pairs, right sides together and using a 1/4" seam to make twelve half squares. Press seams towards darker fabric... |
|
|
Now sew the Color 1 and Color 2 2" x 24" strips right sides together along the long edge. Do this with the Color 1 and Color 2 2" x 28" as well. Press seams towards darker fabric... |
|
|
Cut these paired strips at 2" intervals to make a total of twenty-six units... |
 |
|
Then sew the previous units into four patch units, still using a 1/4" seam, to make thirteen four patch units... on to Page 2! |
