** Preparing the Pieces
and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting the Color 1 2-1/2" x 30" strip
into twelve 2-1/2" squares. Then cut the Color 1 2-7/8" x 11-1/2"
strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack those 2-7/8" squares and cut
them in half once on the diagonal to make eight half square
triangles...

|
|
Next cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" strip
into five 2-1/2" squares, then cut the Color 2 2-7/8" x 11-1/2" strip
into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack those 2-7/8" squares and cut
them once on the diagonal to make eight half square triangles |
|
|
Next, using a scant 1/4" seam sew the Color 1 and Color 2
half square triangles right sides together in pairs to make
eight half square units. Trim these to measure 2-1/2" if
needed... |
|
|
Now lay out all the squares and half squares as shown at
left. Sew five horizontal rows, alternating pressing direction
by row. Join the rows to finish your Domino block! ...on
