** 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!
