Then sew together two Color 3 2" x
10" and the Color 3 5" x 10" strip, as shown at left, using all SCANT
1/4" seams. Mark and cut apart at the 5" point...
|
|
 |
Now...we piece all the strips! Referring to the
diagram at left for placement, sew the previously made strips together along the sides,
using all SCANT 1/4" seams. Make two of these corner squares... |
|
 |
Sew the last two corner units following this left
hand diagram... |
|
 |
Now piece the block, by first making two rows, and
then joining the rows. Again, use all SCANT 1/4" seams. Alternate pressing directions
with each addition....on to Page 3! |

What's with those SCANT
1/4" seams???
Each time we press over
a seam allowance, a teeny bit of fabric is used up in the
fold-over...using a SCANT 1/4" seam (a couple threads less than a
full 1/4") helps to compensate for the block width lost in your
pressing! :o)
