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 the
all (8) Fabric 1 (red) 2" squares, as shown below:
Step 7: Place a Fabric 1 (red) 2" square on the upper corner end of
a Fabric 3 (green) 3-1/2" square (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 red fabric. Repeat on the
upper left corner and press the seam toward the red fabric. Repeat three more
times for a total of four Fabric 1/Fabric 3 units.
Step 8: Arrange half-square triangles, Step
7 units, and the Fabric 2 (pink) 3-1/2" square as shown below. Sew into rows
and press seams away from the Step 7 units. Sew the rows together to form the
center of the block. Press seams toward the center row.
Step 9: 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 10: Sew a Fabric 1/Fabric 4 rectangle
to each side of the block center and press seams toward the
rectangles.
Step 11: Sew the rows that you made in Step
9 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.
