Second Sat. sampler block 5

 

 

 For this block you will need: 

4) 4 inch background squares

1) cream and red 4 inch square

1) green 4 inch square

2) cream/green/red 4 inch squares

4) red 4 inch squares

4) 3 1/2 inch background squares

 

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4 inch cream squares.  Match each of these squares to a 4 inch red square making sure the right sides are together and the outside edges are aligned.  Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line.  Cut on the drawn line.  Square to 3 1/2 inches and press toward the red.

Draw a diagonal line on the back of the 4 inch cream/red/green squares.  Match one to the green square and one to the cream/red square.  Repeat the process described above to create 2 half square triangle blocks from each set.

Use the photo at the top of the blog to arrange and sew the components together to create the block.
