This makes a 12" block!

This Block is traditionally done in two colors...I am showing it in three to help you see the emerging patterns you may see when it is pieced!

3 Blocks x 4 Blocks with a 2" border makes a perfect Project Linus Quilt Sized Quilt!

Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o)

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **

 

Stack the Color 1 and Color 3  4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strips, and using a rotary cutter, cut these together into two 4-7/8" squares of each...

 

Using the old rotary cutter again, cut the 4  4-7/8" squares on the diagonal, being careful not to stretch the fabrics...

  

=

Next, sew these triangles together, right sides together, using scant 1/4" seams to form four of these half squares. Press seams towards darker fabrics. Trim to 4-1/2" if needed...

Then, right sides together, sew the two 2-1/2" x 18" strips along one long edge using scant 1/4" seams. Press seams towards darker fabrics...

Cut the resultant strip at  4-1/2" intervals into four 4-1/2" square pieced sections...

 

...and now sew all of these together, same 1/4" scant seams, in the order shown at left!
