** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Referring to the supplies list, cut the strips and squares needed. Cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares. Cut the Colors 1 & 2 2-1/2" x 20" strips into eight 2-1/2" squares of each. Cut the Color 3 4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strip into two 4-7/8" squares... |
|
|
Now cut each of the Colors 1, 2 and 3 4-7/8"squares in half once on the diagonal to make half square triangles... |
|
|
Sew the half square triangles right sides together to make two each of the units shown at left, using the standard scant 1/4" seam. Press seams towards the darker fabric. Trim these back to be 4-1/2" squares if needed... |
|
|
Sew the smaller squares together, again using a scant 1/4" seam, to make two of each of the four patch units shown at left, pressing seams towards the darker fabric. Trim these back to be 4-1/2" squares if needed... |
|
|
With the remaining small squares
make the center four patch as shown at left. Trim this back to be
a 4-1/2" square if needed...
