Next, using a Color 1/Color 2 combo this time, add a Color 3 triangle to the top, then a Color 2 triangle to the bottom. Press as above. Make one more of these units, then sew two more with the added small triangles reversed, that is, the Color 2 on top, and the Color 3 on the bottom... |
|
|
Then sew each one of these combo triangles to a Color 1 large triangle, again using scant 1/4" seams. Press seams towards large triangle... |
|
Do the same with the second kind of combo triangles we made... |
 |
|
Now you can piece the block, first by sewing rows , and then connecting these rows together. Remember to alternate directions by row when pressing out seams... Show of hands please....Who remembers how to play "Cat's Cradle"??????????? I do!! :o) Happy Quilting! Marcia :o)
