Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of all
Fabric 4 (cream) 3-7/8" squares, and eight Fabric 1 (red) 3-1/2"
squares.
Step 2:
With right sides together, layer a Fabric 4 (cream) 3-7/8" square on a Fabric 1
(red) 3-7/8" square and sew a 1/4" seam on EACH side of the diagonal line that
you drew in Step 1. Cut apart on the diagonal lines. Press seams to darker
fabric and trim points. Repeat once more for a total of FOUR red/cream
half-square triangles.
Step 3: Place a Fabric 1 (red) 3-1/2"
square on the right end of a Fabric 4 (cream) 3-1/2" x 9-1/2" rectangle (right
sides together) as shown below. Stitch a seam on the diagonal line that you
drew Step 1. Trim the fabric above the sewn line to 1/4". Repeat on the left
end and press seams toward the red fabric.
Step 4: Using your ruler and pencil, draw
two diagonal lines on the back of the Fabric 2 (pink) 4-1/4" squares, as shown
below:
Step 5: Place a Fabric 2 (pink) 4-1/4"
square on a Fabric 1 (red) 4-1/4" square, right sides together. Sew a 1/4" seam
on each side of just one of the diagonal lines that you drew in Step 4. Cut
apart on BOTH diagonal lines. Press seams to darker fabric and trim points.
Repeat with the second pair of Fabric 2 (pink) and Fabric 1(red) 4-1/4" squares
for a total of eight Fabric 2/Fabric 1 triangles.
Step 6: With right sides together and using
the diagram below as your guide, layer a Fabric 2/Fabric 1 triangle on another
Fabric 2/Fabric 1 (with colors reversed) triangle taking care to match the
seams. Stitch along the longest side and press seam to one side. Repeat three
more times for a total of four Fabric 2/Fabric 1 quarter-square
triangles.
Step 7: Arrange four Fabric 1 (red) 3-1/2"
squares, four Fabric 2/Fabric 1 quarter-square triangles, and one Fabric 3
(green) 3-1/2" square as shown below. Sew the squares and quarter-square
triangles into rows and press seams toward the solid squares. Sew the rows
together to form the center of the block. Press seams away from the center
row.
Step 8: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 half-square
triangle (Step 2) to each side of a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle, as shown below.
Repeat for a total of two.
Step 9: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle
to each side of the block center and press seams toward the
rectangles.
Step 10: Sew the rows that you made in Step
8 to the top and bottom to finish the block. Press seams toward the outside of
the block.
Your block should
measure 15-1/2" at this point. It will measure 15" when it is sewn into the
quilt.
