To make the side units, place a Color 3 small square right sides together atop the upper left corner of a Color 1 large square, with outer edges aligned. On the back of the top square lightly mark the diagonal. Sew on this diagonal marking. Cut off the excess seam allowance. Press the remainder towards the corner. Repeat this with another Color 3 square on the opposing corner of the square, and then on the two adjacent corners. Make four of these units. These should measure 4-1/2" square at this point. Sew Color 2 rectangles to opposing sides of each unit...on to Page 2! |
