** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
First using the template provided cut the Color 1 and 2 3-1/2" x 18-3/4" strips into four parallelograms each, as shown at left. Have the template upside down to cut Color 1, right side up to cut Color 2... |
|
Next cut your Color 3 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares... |
|
Then using the triangle template cut the Color 4 7-1/4" square into four quarter square triangles... |
|
Using a scant 1/4" seam sew a Color 1 and Color 2 parallelogram together along one long side, sewing from a point 1/4" in from the end to a point 1/4" from the other end. Sew two with Color 1 on top. Sew two with Color 2 on top. Leave ends open! Make four of these units... |
|
To inset (miter) in the Color 3 corner square, align the square right sides together with one short end of the Color 1 parallelogram, as shown. Sew 1/4" from the edge to a point 1/4" from the other edge of the square. Backstitch at beginning and end of seam... |
 |
|
Now pivot the square up to match the free end of the other parallelogram, and stitch, using the same scant 1/4" seam. Repeat this with the other three corner squares and parallelogram sets. Backstitch at beginning and end of seams...on to Page 2! |
