This makes a 28" block , and is rated as a three pin pattern only because of the number of pieces within it :o)

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block **

 

From the strips listed below, cut the number of 2-1/2" squares indicated at left...

 

 

Now sew the fourteen rows shown at left, always using a scant 1/4" seam. Press rows in alternating directions. Sew the rows together to complete the block! It's easy, in that there are only squares, but...there are many of them...so it won't be necessarily FAST... :o)

...on to Page 2!

 

 Why the SCANT 1/4" seams?? Each time you press a seam to the side, you can lose the tiniest bit of block width in the crease....sewing with a SCANT 1/4" seam, which is a little LESS THAN a true 1/4", you compensate for that bit of lost block width!
