This makes a 12" block!

...Another block done traditionally in two colors, but be brave! Do it your way!!

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **  

Stack your fabrics as shown, and using a rotary cutter, cut the fat strips into two 4-7/8"squares...and the thin strips into ten 2-7/8" squares.

Sewing with a scant 1/4 " seam...sew the large triangles together, again being careful not to stretch the fabric. Do the same with all of the smaller triangles. Press seams towards darker fabrics. Trim the smaller to 2-1/2" and the larger to 4-1/2" if needed...
       

Simple as Pie!...take the sewn together triangles, and using scant 1/4" seams, put them together in this order! Again, press seams towards darker fabrics, and when piecing rows, alternate the direction of the pressing. Hey! Good Job! You've now made a "Double T" Block!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!...and as ever ... Happy Quilting!!...Marcia :o)
