CREATING HALF SQUARE TRIANGLE UNITS:

I prefer to trim down my half-square triangles to
ensure accuracy. To do this, cut a square from each of
the two fabrics to 3⅜”. Draw a line from one corner
to the other using a ruler. Stitch a scant ¼’’ away from
this line on each side. Cut along the line using a rotary
cutter and ruler. Press the two units open and trim to
2½’’ square.

ASSEMBLING THE BLOCK:

Press seams open
1. Piece together the top and bottom three rows
following the placement in the block illustration.
2. Piece together the middle two rows following the
placement in the block illustration.
3. Sew the top three row unit to the middle row unit.
5. Sew the bottom three row unit to the middle row
unit.
