** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by cutting the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Now sew the Color 4 and Color 5 1-1/2" x 12" strips right sides together along one long edge using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press to the dark side. Cut apart into eight 1-1/2" wide sections. Sew pairs of these together to form two Four Patch units... |
|
|
Now make two of the units shown at left, by sewing together Four Patches and Color 3 squares... |
|
|
Stack the Color 1 and Color 2 4-7/8" squares right sides together. On the back of the top square lightly draw in the diagonal. Stitch on both sides of the drawn line, a scant 1/4" away. Cut apart on the drawn line. Press to dark side. This will give you two half squares. Trim to measure 4-1/2" if needed... |
|
|
Now join the half squares and Four Patches to complete your Sickle
Variation block!
