Tipped Bricks uses rectangles,
any size that is 2 times longer than it is wide (plus 1/2" for
seam allowances) and small
rectangles,( plus 1/2" for seam allowances) the same width as your larger rectangles, but
shorter...sew a short background colored rectangle to each end of
every colored larger rectangle, using a 1/4" seam, and
pressing seam allowances towards the darker fabric...or you can
speed piece large numbers of these units, by sewing together long
strips of each width fabric, and rotary cutting them apart in the
proper widths... |
|
Then sew them together
staggered, with the background fabric extending 1/4" beyond the
tips of the bricks, and using a rotary cutter and ruler, slice off any extra
beyond that 1/4" seam allowance.
EXAMPLE: a 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"
rectangle with 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ends will give you an
approx 4 1/4" wide border
EXAMPLE: a 6 1/2" x 3 1/2"
rectangle with 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" ends will give you an
approx 6 1/4" border
