** Preparing the
Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Using the template provided cut out twelve petal shapes
from the Color 1 5" x 15" strip, adding 1/8"-
3/16" seam allowances as you do this... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 2 2-1/2" x
12-1/2"
strip into five 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 3 5" x 10" strip into
eight 2-1/2" squares. Mark and cut the Color
3 5" x 13" strip into four 2-1/2" x 6-1/2"
rectangles... |
|
|
Using a scant 1/4" seam, sew together the center
nine patch as shown at left, pressing all seams to the darker sides(
shown in smaller scale here)... |
|
|
Now piece the block as shown at far left. Pin on and appliqué
the petal shapes using threads to match the petals. Once this is
done, so are you! :o)
...now on to Page 2! |
