Saturday Sampler (Block 3)

 

 Block 3

For block 3 you will need:

8) 4" light (background) squares

4) 4" red squares

4) 4" blue squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of all of the light squares.

Match the four red squares with 4 of the light squares making sure the right sides of the fabric are facing and the outside edges are aligned.  Match the four blue squares with the remaining light squares.

Sew 1/4 inch on both sides of the line and then cut on the diagonal line.  Square each of the resulting 1/2 square triangles to 3 1/2 inches.  Press toward the darker fabric.  Arrange as in the photo at the top of the tutorial and sew the squares together to create the block.
