** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 and Color 3 2-1/2" x 5" strips into two 2-1/2" squares of each... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 2 4-1/2" x 18" strips into four 4-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Then mark and cut the Color 2 5" x 18" strip into eight 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles... |
|
|
Sew the Color 1 and Color 3 2-1/2" x 35" strips right sides together along one long edge, using a scant 1/4" seam. Press the seam towards the darker side... |
|
|
Mark and cut this at 2-1/2" intervals to make fourteen pieced units... |
|
|
Sew five four patch units as shown at left, again using a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Trim these back to 4-1/2" if needed... |
|
|
Now sew your units together into five horizontal rows as shown at left. The extra 2 color pieced units, and the rectangles and single squares will be used in the blocks outer edges. You did it! |
