Materials List

Fabric Needed For Each Block:
- 20 x 2.5-inch squares green
- 7 x 2.5-inch squares background
- 5 x 3.5-inch green for 1/2 square blocks
- 5 x 3.5-inch background for 1/2 square blocks
Making the Half Square Triangles:
-
Place a 3.5” square of the Green and Background fabric right sides together.
-
Draw a diagonal line across the squares.
-
Sew 3/4” away from each side of the line drawn. Cut along the drawn line and press to the green side.
-
Cut along the drawn line and press to the green side.
-
Repeat steps 1-4 for all 3.5” squares.
-
Square up each half square block to 2.5 inches. By trimming them to size this will ensure that all edges are straight, sewing and ironing on a bias can cause the fabric to stretch out of shape.
Sewing the Block Together:
-
6 Rows will be sewn together using the layout below pressing each row in the opposite direction.
It is important to nest the seams to ensure that the intersections line up. -
Sew the 8 rows together to complete the block!
