** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **

|
Start by cutting the Color 1 and Color 3 3-1/2" x 20" strips into two 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangles and two 3-1/2" squares of each... |
|
|
Using a 1/4" seam allowance sew pairs of rectangles and pairs of squares right sides together. Press seams to darker sides. You need two pairs of each rectangles and squares... |
|
|
Now lay out the units as shown at left. Sew the square-pairs to the sides of the center Color 2 square. Press seams towards center square. Add the rectangle pairs to the top and bottom, pressing seams towards rectangles, and the block is done! Wasn't that easy?! ...on to Page 2! |
