This makes a 12" block and is from the early 1930's! Reminiscent of the times, let's be frugal about this and do it in old scraps!

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Cut sixteen 3-7/8" dark and sixteen 3-7/8" light fabric squares in half once on the diagonal.....save half of these for another block, or another project... |
|
|
Sew each dark half square triangle to a light half square triangle, right sides together, and using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seams to the darker side. Trim to measure 3-1/2" if needed. Make sixteen units like this of all random fabrics... |
|
|
Now lay out the squares with Dark (D) and Light (L) arranged as shown at left... |
|
|
Piece the block by sewing four horizontal rows. Join the rows, and it's done! ...on to Page 2! |
