Sewing Instructions:
Step 1:
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of eight
Color B (Blue) 2-1/2" squares, and twelve Color C (Cream) squares.
Step 2:
With right sides together, layer a Color C (cream) 2-1/2" square in the upper
right corner of a Color A (light orange) 4-1/2" square and sew on the diagonal
line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching
and press seam toward Color C (cream). Repeat on the left side. Repeat Step 2
three more times for a total of four Color A/C units.
Step 3: With right sides together, layer
a Color C (cream) 2-1/2" square in the upper right corner of a Color B (blue)
4-1/2" square and sew on the diagonal line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away
excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching and press seam toward Color C (cream).
Repeat on each corner in the following order: lower left, upper, left,
and lower right. One center unit made.
Step 4: With right sides together, layer
a Color B (blue) 2-1/2" square in the upper left corner of a Color C (cream)
4-1/2" square and sew on the diagonal line that you drew in Step 1. Trim away
excess fabric 1/4" above the stitching and press seam toward Color B (blue).
Repeat on the lower right corner, pressing seam toward Color B (blue). Repeat
three more times for a total of four corner stripe units.
Step 5: Using the block image at the top of
the page as your guide, arrange the nine block units. Sew them first into rows,
pressing the seams of the top and bottom rows toward the center and the seam of
the middle row away from the center. Sew rows together to finish the block and
press seams away from the center.
Your block should
measure 12-1/2" at this point. It will measure 12" when it is sewn into the
quilt.
