** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 1 and Color 2 4-1/4" x 17" strips into four 4-1/4" squares each. Stack these squares and cut twice on the diagonals, to make sixteen quarter square triangles of each. You will also need one 6-1/2" square of Color 2...not shown here... |
|
|
To make the quarter squares, sew pairs of quarter square triangles together, right sides together, as shown at left, using the standard SCANT 1/4" seam. Press seam allowances towards darker fabrics. Sew these paired units together, and press seam to one side... |
|
|
Then piece the block! Sew pairs of quarter squares together, then make rows, using these, the Color 1 squares, and the large Color 2 center square...on to Page 2! |
