** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
First, cut all fabric strips into 2-1/2" squares... |
|
As all rows are constructed in the same manner. I will explain just one, starting with the upper left-hand corner of the block. To one Color 3 square, sew a Color 2 square, using a 1/4" seam... |
| Then add a Color 1 square, a Color 4 square, a Color 1 square, a Color 2 square and lastly a Color 3 square. Press seam allowances all towards the same direction... |
 |
|
Then continue to make the rest of the rows in the same way, alternating pressing directions by row! Basically, that is the end of the block making directions! I have shown the individual squares at a measurement of 2-1/2" but you are not held to that! You can use ANY size squares... |
