Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Layer a Color E (cream) 3-7/8" triangle on a Color C (tan) 3-7/8" triangle, right sides together. Stitch as shown below. Press the seam allowance toward the darker fabric and trim points. Make 4. (Each unit should measure 3-1/2".)
Step 2:
Layer a Color B (pink) 2-7/8" triangle on a Color A (red) 2-7/8" triangle, right sides together. Stitch as shown below. Press the seam allowance toward the lighter fabric and trim points. Make 8. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2".)
Step 3:
Sew a 2-7/8" Color B (pink) triangle to the right end of a 5-1/4" Color E (cream) triangle as shown below. Press seam allowance toward the darker fabric and trim points. Repeat on the left end of the same triangle, as shown below. Press seam allowance toward the darker fabric and trim points. Make 4. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 4: Sew a 2-7/8" Color C (tan) triangle to the right end of a 5-1/4" Color E (cream) triangle as shown below. Press seam allowance toward the darker fabric and trim points. Repeat on the left end of the same triangle, as shown below. Press seam allowance toward the darker fabric and trim points. Make 4. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 5: Arrange two Color A (red) 2-1/2" squares and two Color B (pink) 2-1/2" squares, as shown below. Sew into rows and press the seam allowance toward the darker fabric. Sew the two rows together to finish the four-patch unit. Press the seam allowance to one side. Make 1. (This unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 6: Arrange a Color B (pink) 2-1/2" square, a Color C (tan) 2-1/2" square, and two Step 2 units as shown below. Sew into rows and press the seam allowance away from the Step 2 units. Sew the two rows together to finish the unit. Press the seam allowance to one side. Make 4. (This unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 7: Arrange a Step 3 and Step 4 unit as shown below. Sew together and press the seam allowance to one side. Make 4. (This unit should measure 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".)
Step 8: Arrange the Step 5, Step 6, and Step 7 units, as shown below. Sew into rows and press the seam allowances for the top and bottom row toward the Step 6 units. Press the seam allowances for the center row toward the Step 5 unit.
Next, sew the rows together to finish the center block unit. Press the seam allowances toward the center row. Make 1. (This unit should measure 12-1/2" x 12-1/2")
Step 9: Stitch a Step 1 unit to the left and right ends of a Color D (green) 3-1/2" x 12-1/2" rectangle, as shown below. Press the seam allowances toward the Color D fabric.
(Each unit should measure 3-1/2" x 18-1/2".)
Step 10: Stitch a Color D (green) 3-1/2" x 12-1/2" rectangle to the left and right sides of the Step 8 unit. Press the seam allowances toward the Color D fabric.
Step 11: Stitch a Step 9 unit to the top and bottom of the block. Press the seam allowances away from the block center.
Your block should
measure 18-1/2" at this point. It will measure 18" when it is sewn into the
