** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 4-1/2" x 18" strip into four 4-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 2 5" x 30" strip into twenty-four 2-1/2" squares... |
 |
Cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10 strip into four 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 4 5" x 27" strip into twelve 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles... |
|
|
Next speed piece the half squares, by stacking the Color 1 and Color 3 2-7/8" x 23" strips, right sides together and all edges aligned. On the back of the top strip, lightly mark the 2-7/8" square lines and mark the diagonals in the direction shown at left. Now sew 1/4" above and below the marked diagonals, pivoting at the square lines. Now cut apart ON the marked diagonals, and on the 2-7/8" square lines. This will give you sixteen half squares. Press seam allowances towards the darker fabric. These should measure 2-1/2"... |

|
Sew together four of the two half-square units shown at top left. Sew together four of the two half-square plus square units shown at middle left. Now use those plus a Color 1 4-1/2" square to make four of the Bear Paw units shown at bottom left...on to Page 2! |
