** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
Using the templates provided cut
four triangles, and four parallelograms from the Color 5 strips.
Now cut one triangle and one parallelogram from each of the other four fabric units... |
|
Now take a Color 5 parallelogram and sew it to the Color 1 triangle, using a 1/4" seam. Then sew the Color 1 parallelogram to a Color 5 triangle. Press seam allowances towards the darker fabrics. After sewing, trim off the little "tails" to make a straight edge. Repeat this with each of the other colored triangles and parallelograms you cut... |
|
Stack the two resultant new triangles right sides together and sew along the long straight edge to form a new square. Do this with the other units also... |
 |
|
Sew the four new squares together in the direction shown to make the block! Be sure to alternate pressing directions by row! |
