** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting four 3-1/2" corner squares from a common design area within your fabric. (If you prefer, just cut four 3-1/2" squares from a 3-1/2" x 14" strip of Color 1) Cut one 6-1/2" center square... |
|
|
Then cut the Color 1 and Color 2 4" x 13" strips into four 2" x 6-1/2" rectangles of each... |
|
|
Now cut the Color 2 4" x 16" strip into sixteen 2" squares... |
|
|
Sew the rectangle pairs right sides together along the long edge, using a SCANT 1/4" seam. Press the seam allowance towards the darker fabric. Make four units like this... |
|
|
To sew the corner units, place a small Color 2 square right sides together and edges aligned with a Color 1 3 1/2" square.( I show them staggered here just so you can see I am working with two separate pieces of fabric) On the back of the small square, lightly draw the diagonal, and sew on this drawn line. Cut off the excess seam allowance, and press the remaining seam allowance towards the center square. Repeat this with another Color 2 square on the opposing corner. Repeat again with two Color 2 squares on the remaining two corners, pressing these last two additions towards the corner triangles. Make four units like this...on to Page 2! |
