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 a
diagonal line on the back of the two Fabric 2 (pink) 3-7/8" squares, as shown
below:
Step 5: Place a Fabric 2 (pink) 3-7/8"
square on a Fabric 1 (red) 3-7/8" square, right sides together. Sew a 1/4" seam
on both sides of the diagonal line that you drew in Step 4. Cut apart on the
line. 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 four Fabric
2/Fabric 1 half-square triangles.
Step 6: Using your ruler and pencil, draw a diagonal line on the back of all
(16) Fabric 2 (pink) 2" squares, as shown below:
Step 7: Place a Fabric 2 (pink) 2" square on the right end of a
Fabric 1 (red) 2" x 3-1/2" rectangle (right sides together) as shown below.
Stitch a seam on the diagonal line that you drew Step 6. Trim the fabric above
the sewn line to 1/4" and press the seam toward the pink fabric. Repeat on the
left end and press the seam toward the pink fabric. Repeat fifteen more times
for a total of 16 Fabric 2/Fabric 1 flying geese units.
Step 8: Sew two flying geese units from Step 7 together as shown below. Press
the seam toward the long edge of the red triangle. Repeat three more times for
a total of four.
Step 9: Arrange half-square triangles,
flying geese units, and the Fabric 3 (green) 3-1/2" square as shown below. Sew
into rows and press seams away from the flying geese units. Sew the rows
together to form the center of the block. Press seams toward the center row.
Step 10: 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 11: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle
to each side of the block center and press seams toward the
rectangles.
Step 12: Sew the rows that you made in Step
10 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.
