** Preparing the Pieces And Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 and Color 3 3-1/2" x 10-1/2" strips into three 3-1/2" squares of each. Mark and cut the Color 2 3-1/2" x 21" strip into six 3-1/2" squares. You also need one 6-1/2" square of Color 1... |
|
|
To sew three of the corner blocks, sew pairs of colored squares right sides together as shown at left, using 1/4" seams. Press seams towards the darker side. Sew these units together, again using 1/4" seams. Make one unit with the Color 1 and Color 3 small squares, and two units using Color 2 and Color 3... |
|
|
Now piece the block, sewing your units together as shown at left! Be sure to press row seams in opposing directions, so the seams lay nice and flat! |
