This makes a 9" block! Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
|
Here we go!--on the road to ...SCHOOL! This one reminds me SO much of my Aunt Betty's front yard.She lives RIGHT next door to our local prep/high school--and the path that cuts across one corner is much like this block!! I think she gave up even trying to divert the traffic! |
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
First, cut the Color 1 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares... |
|
Next cut the Color 2 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" strip into five 1-1/2" squares, and the Color 3 1-1/2" x 6" strip into four 1-1/2" squares... |
|
Now cut the Color 2 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares... |
|
Do the same with your Color 3 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip... |
|
Then stack your Color 2 and Color 3 3- 7/8" squares, with all edges aligned( I show them staggered here just so you can see what pieces I mean). Cut in half once on the diagonal, being careful not to stretch fabrics... |
|
Match the Color 1 and Color 2 triangles right sides together and stitch using a 1/4" seam. Press towards darker fabric. Make four of these units. These should measure 3-1/2"... |
 |
|
Piece together your Color 2 and Color 3 small squares as shown at left. Make rows first then joining the rows. Press seams in opposite directions. Use 1/4" seams, and they need to be accurate, as these are quite small pieces!...on to Page 2! |
