|
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting all the Color 1 strips. As there are so many of them, you'll probably want to lay them out neatly so you can easily grab the right strip when needed... |
|
|
Then cut all the Color 2 strips and lay them out neatly... |
|
|
Next cut all the Color 3 strips and lay them out neatly... |
|
|
Then sew together two Color 2 squares and one Color 3 square, pressing seams towards the darker fabric...=Unit 1 |
|
|
Sew a Color 2 square to the bottom of a Color 3 2-1/2" strip. Press seam towards darker fabric. Add a Color 3 square to the bottom of that. Press seam towards darker fabric. Sew a Color 2 4-1/2" strip to the left of that, pressing seam towards Color 2 strip..... Make two units like this...=Unit 2(s) |
|
|
Now sew the Unit 1 to the left of one of the Unit 2's, having top edges aligned, and stopping your
seam 1/4" from the bottom. Backstitch and snip threads...
