Now cut the Color 1 and Color 8 1-7/8" x 9-3/8" strips into five 1-7/8" squares of each. Pair the squares right sides together with all edges aligned. On the back of the top square lightly mark the diagonal. Sew 1/4" away from the drawn line on each side of it. Cut apart ON the drawn line. Press seams to darker sides. Each square-pair will give you two Half Square units. Trim these to measure 1-1/2" if needed. You need a total of ten Half Squares...now on to Page 2! |
