This
Block is traditionally done in two colors...I am showing it in three to help you see the
emerging patterns you may see when it is pieced! |

**
Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Stack
the Color 1 and Color 3 4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strips, and using a rotary cutter, cut these together into two 4-7/8" squares of
each... |
|
|
Using the
old rotary cutter again, cut the 4 4-7/8" squares on the
diagonal, being careful
not to stretch the fabrics... |
|
|
= |
 |
Next, sew
these triangles together, right sides together, using scant 1/4" seams to form
four of these half squares. Press seams towards darker fabrics. Trim to
4-1/2" if needed... |
|
|
Then, right sides together, sew the two 2-1/2" x 18" strips along one long
edge using scant 1/4" seams. Press seams towards darker fabrics... |
|
|
Cut
the resultant strip at 4-1/2" intervals into four 4-1/2"
square pieced sections... |
|
|
...and now sew all of these
together, same 1/4" scant seams, in the
order shown at left! =Churn
Dash!
