Cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 30" strip into twelve 2-1/2" squares... |

Next speed piece the half squares, by stacking the Color 1 and Color 3 2-7/8" x 23" strips, right sides together and all edges aligned. On the back of the top strip, lightly mark the 2-7/8" square lines and mark the diagonals in the direction shown at left. Now sew 1/4" above and below the marked diagonals, pivoting at the square lines. Now cut apart ON the marked diagonals, and on the 2-7/8" square lines. This will give you sixteen half squares. Press seam allowances towards the darker fabric. These should measure 2-1/2" ... |
