It's done more traditionally with the center square in the color of the secondary star tip color, but let's live right on the edge and change that! |
|
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** ** Use SCANT 1/4" seam allowances throughout ** |
|
|
First mark and cut your Color 1, plaid, 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack and cut these once on the diagonal to get four half square triangles... |
|
|
Next mark and cut the Color 3 3-1/2" x 17-1/2" strip into five 3-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now stack and cut the Color 2 and Color 3 4-1/4" squares on the diagonal. Stack the resulting triangles and cut on the other diagonal to make eight quarter square triangles... |
|
|
Sew the Color 2 and Color 3 quarter square triangles together in pairs as shown at left. Press seam allowance towards the darker fabric. Sew a Color 1 half square triangle to each pair of QSTs. Press seam allowances towards the half square triangle. This will give you four star tip units. These should measure 3-1/2"...on to Page 2 |
