** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the
Block ** |
|
 |
Start by marking and cutting the Color 3 2-1/2" x 20"
strip into eight 2-1/2" squares... |
|
 |
To make the Snowball units, lay one of the Color 3 2-1/2"
square lined up with one corner of the Color 1 6-1/2" squares, edges aligned
and right sides together. Draw a diagonal line on the back of the small square, and sew ON
this diagonal line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, leaving 1/4". Press the
remaining seam allowance towards the outside. Repeat this with the opposite corner,
and then again with the two remaining corners. Repeat the same procedure with the last
four Color 3 squares and the Color 2 6-1/2" square... |
|
 |
Next sew the Color 2 2-1/2" x
10" strip to one Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip, right sides
together. Press the seam allowance towards the darker
fabric. Add another Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip to the other side of the
Color 2 strip, again pressing towards the darker fabric. Cut this unit at 2-1/2" intervals to make four
strips... |
|
 |
Next sew a Color 3 2-1/2" x 5" strip right sides
together to a Color 1 2-1/2" x 5" strip. Press seam allowance towards the
darker fabric. Add another Color 1 2-1/2" x 5" strip to the other side of
the Color 3 strip, again pressing towards the darker fabric. Cut this unit at 2-1/2" intervals to make two two-color units...
