** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 7" x 13" strip into four 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangles... |
|
|
Then mark and cut the Color 2 8" x 18" strip into thirty-six 2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 3 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now let's sew the block's corner units. To do this place a Color 2 square right sides together and edges lined up with the upper left corner of a Color 3 3-1/2" square. (I show them staggered here just so you can see what I am doing) On the back of the small square draw in the diagonal, and sew ON this drawn line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, pressing the remainder towards the corner triangle. Repeat this with another Color 2 square on the opposing corner, and then on the two adjacent corners. Trim, this unit back to measure 3-1/2" if needed. Make four units like this... |
|
|
Following the same procedure as above, sew off the corners of the four Color 1 rectangles...on to Page 2! |
