Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Using a ruler and a water soluble marker, draw a diagonal line on the wrong
side of all Fabric 6 (cream) 3-7/8" squares.
Step 2:
With right sides together, layer a Fabric 6 (cream) 3-7/8" square on a Fabric 1
(dark green) 3-7/8" square and sew a 1/4" seam on each side of the diagonal line
that you drew in Step 1. Repeat seven times more and cut apart on the diagonal
lines. Press seams to darker fabric and trim points. Sixteen Fabric 1/Fabric
6 half-square triangles made.
Step 3: Using the block above as your
guide, place the half-square triangle units, the Fabric 3 (red) square and the
Fabric 6 (cream) squares in order for each block. Using a scant 1/4" seam, sew
the units together to form rows and sew the rows together to finish the block.
Make 4 blocks.
