Sewing Directions |
| 1 |
Using 4" squares...mark the diagonal on the wrong side of Bkg squares; match right sides together and stitch 1/4" seam on both sides of the diagonal mark; cut apart on the diagonal mark; carefully press open toward Dark/Medium. Square up to 3-1/2". (Diagram 1) |
| 2 |
Mark a diagonal on the wrong side of all the 3-1/2" squares of Bkg and Dark/Medium. |
| 3 |
Using the 6-1/2" square of Background and 4 3-1/2" squares of Dark/Medium...place one square of Dark/Medium on one corner of Bkg square and one on the opposite corner...right sides together; stitch just to the corner side of the diagonal lines; press open to corner. Repeat on other corners. Turning the unit face down, trim back to original 6-1/2" square. You may now trim the excess fabric from the corners, if you choose. (Diagram 2) |

Using the same technique as in step#3, doing one corner at a time...attach the 3-1/2" squares of Bkg to the 3-1/2"x6-1/2" rectangles of Dark/Medium. Once the corners are stitched, pressed and trimmed...with the unit face down, trim back to original rectangle. (Diagram 3) |

IMPORTANT: Please square up your finished block to be sure it is 12-1/2". If it is larger or smaller, check your seams and redo if necessary. If you do not check your measurements, your block may not join properly with other blocks easily to create the finished quilt. |
