** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 2-7/8" x 11-1/2" strip into four 2-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make eight half square triangles... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x 10" strip into 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Next cut the Color 3 1-1/2" x 9" strip into two 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles. Cut the Color 3 1-1/2" x 13" strip into two 1-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangles... |
|
|
Then cut the Color 4 4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strip into two 4-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |
|
|
Sew the shorter Color 3 rectangles right sides together to the top and bottom of the Color 5 4-1/2" square in a scant 1/4" seam. (Shown staggered here, but yours need to be aligned with the edges!) Press towards rectangles. Sew the longer Color 3 strips to the sides, and again press to sides... |
|
|
Sew the Color 1 half square triangles to the left and right of the Color 2 squares. Use that same scant 1/4" seam allowance, and press to darker side. Make four units like this...on to Page 2! |
