** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 3 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack and cut these once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles for the block's corners... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 4 7-1/4"square on both diagonals to make four quarter square triangles for the block's sides... |
|
|
Now sew together the Color 1 and Color 2 2-5/8" x 26-1/4" strips, right sides together, along one long edge using a scant 1/4" seam. Press the seam to the darker side. Mark and cut at 2-5/8" intervals... |
|
|
Flip alternating strip units and sew pairs of these together to make five four patch units as shown at left... |

|
Then sew a Color 3 triangle to one side of two four patch units...noting the direction of the four patch colors before you sew! Press seams towards the triangles... |
|
|
Now sew a Color 4 triangle to either side of the two units we just made, pressing seams towards the triangles...on to Page 2! |
