Sewing Instructions:
(Note: Sewing Instructions are for 1 block. You will need to make 4 identical blocks.)
Step 1: Place a Color B (cream) 2-7/8" triangle on a Color A (green) triangle, right sides together. Sew along the longest edge using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam allowance toward the Color A (green) fabric and trim points. Make 20. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2".)
Step 2: Place a Color B (cream) 8-7/8" triangle on a Color A (green) triangle, right sides together. Sew along the longest edge using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam allowance toward the Color A (green) fabric and trim points. Make 1. (This unit should measure 8-1/2".)
Step 3: Arrange four Step 1 units, as shown below. Sew together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam allowances to one side. Make 2. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2" x 8-1/2".)
Step 4. Arrange six Step 1 units, as shown below. Sew together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam allowances to one side. Make 2. (Each unit should measure 2-1/2" x 12-1/2".)
Step 5: Sew a Step 3 unit to the left side of the Step 2 unit. Sew the remaining Step 3 unit to the right side of the Step 2 unit. Press the seam allowances toward the Step 2 unit. Make 1. (This unit should measure 8-1/2" x 12-1/2".)
Step 6: Sew a Step 4 unit to the top of the Step 5 unit. Sew the remaining Step 4 unit to the bottom of the Step 5 unit. Press the seam allowances toward the Step 5 unit. Make 1. (Your block will measure 12-1/2" unfinished. It will measure 12" when it is sewn into a quilt.)
That's it! Don't forget to make three more "Ladies" for a total of FOUR blocks!
