** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Cut the Color 1 5" x 20" strip into sixteen 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 2 4-1/2" x 22-1/2" strip into five 4-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now sew together the Color 2 and Color 3, and Color 1 and Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strips along one long edge using a 1/4" seam. Press seams towards the red. Cut at 2-1/2" intervals. Sew together one of each of these to make a four patch unit. Make four of these. These should each measure 4-1/2" when done... |

|
Place a Color 1 square right sides together atop one corner of the Color 2 4-1/2" square, with outer edges aligned. ( I show them staggered here for demo purposes) On the back of the top square lightly draw the diagonal, then sew on this drawn line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, and press the remainder towards the outer triangle. Repeat this with another Color 2 square on the opposing corner, and then on the adjacent corners. Make four units like this. These should each measure 4-1/2" when done...on to Page 2! |
