** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Mark and cut each of the "ribbon" colored strips into one 3-1/2" square, and one 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangle of each... |
|
|
Mark and cut the background colored strip into four 3- 1/2" squares... |
|
|
Sew each of the back ground colored squares right sides together to a ribbon colored square, using a SCANT 1/4" seam. Press seam allowances towards the darker fabrics. You will have four of these units... |
|
|
Now sew a ribbon rectangle to the appropriate 2-square unit, again right sides together and using a SCANT 1/4" seam. Press seam allowances towards the rectangles... |
|
|
Then sew the four quadrants together as shown at left! Alternate pressing directions with each addition to keep your seams nice and flat! See? Wasn't that an easy one??!! ...on to Page 2 |
