** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 7" x 10-1/2" strip into six 3-1/2" squares. Also cut the Color 1 3-7/8" square in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles... |
|
|
Then mark and cut the Color 2 7" x 14" strip into eight 3-1/2" squares. Also cut one Color 2 3-7/8" square and cut it in half once on the diagonal to make two half square triangles... |
|
|
Sew the half square triangles together as shown at left, using a 1/4" seam. Press seams to darker side. These should measure 3-1/2" square. Make two units like this... |
|
|
Now piece all the squares and half squares together into four rows, again using 1/4" seams, and pressing seams in alternating directions by row. Join these rows, being sure your seams all line up...and you are done! ...on to Page 2! |
