** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
First, cut all fabric strips into 2-1/2" squares... |
|
As all rows are constructed in the same manner. I will explain just one, starting with the upper left-hand corner of the block. To one Color 3 square, sew a Color 2 square, using a SCANT 1/4" seam... |
| Then add a Color 1 square, a Color 4 square, a Color 1 square, a Color 2 square and lastly a Color 3 square. Press seam allowances all towards the same direction... |
 |
|
Then continue to make the rest of the rows in the
same way, alternating pressing directions by row! Basically, that is the end of the block
making directions! Now we get into the theory part! First, I have shown the individual
squares at a measurement of 2-1/2" but you are not held to that!
You can use ANY size squares...
