This makes a 12" block! It's a dark morning here, as I am making this pattern...so I thought maybe some BRIGHT colors might help... :o) |
|
Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
Using a mat, ruler and rotary cutter cut three strips of both colors needed for the block... |
|
Then sew a Color 2 strip to a Color 1 strip, right sides together, using a scant 1/4" seam, pressing seams towards darker fabric. Then sew on another Color 1 strip. Now make another grouping, but just the opposite-->Color 2/Color1/Color 2..... |
|
Then mark off and cut these units at 3-1/2" intervals, to make sixteen 3-1/2" squares... |
|
Sew them together. First make rows, and then sew the rows together to make the block...again using scant 1/4" seams, and pressing seams in alternating directions by row. Congratulations!! ...on to Page 2!
