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), 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) 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: Using your ruler and pencil, draw a diagonal line on the back of the
Fabric 2 (pink) 2-3/8" squares, as shown below:
Step 8: Place a Fabric 2 (pink) 2-3/8"
square on a Fabric 1 (red) 2-3/8" square, right sides together. Sew a 1/4" seam
on both sides of the diagonal line that you drew in Step 7. Cut apart on the
line. Press seams to darker fabric and trim points. Repeat three more times for
a total of eight Fabric 2/Fabric 1 half-square triangles.
Step 9: Arrange two Fabric 1
(red) 2" squares and two Fabric 1/Fabric 2 half-square triangles as shown below.
Sew into rows and press seams toward the red squares. Sew rows together to
finish the Four-Patch unit. Press seam. Repeat three more times for a total of
four Four-Patch units.
Step 10: Arrange four Four-Patch
units, four quarter-square triangles, and one Fabric 3 (green) square as shown
below. Sew the squares into rows and press seams toward the quarter-square
triangles. Sew the rows together to form the center of the block. Press seams
toward the center row.
Step 11: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4
half-square triangle to each side of a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle, as shown
below. Repeat for a total of two top and bottom rows.
Step 12: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle
to each side of the block center and press seams toward the
rectangles.
Step 13: Sew the rows that you made in Step
11 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.
