** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Mark and cut the Color 1 4-7/8" x 9-3/4"strip into two 4-7/8" squares. Stack and cut these squares once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 2 4-1/2" x 18" strip into four 4-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now mark and cut the Color 3 4-7/8" x 9-3/4"strip into two 4-7/8" squares. Stack and cut these squares once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles... |
|
|
Sew a Color 3 half square triangle to a Color 1 half square triangle, right sides together, using as SCANT 1/4" seam. Repeat this to make a total of four half square like this... |
|
|
Now piece the block, using the
diagram at left for placement and orientation of the units, using
the Color 1 4-1/2" square as the block's center. Make
rows first, then join the rows, alternating pressing directions as
you do this. All Done!!
