Sewing Directions
Make quick
half-square triangle blocks. Layer
each dark square, right sides together with a light square and each medium
square with a light square. Lightly
draw a diagonal line across the back of the light squares, corner to corner.
This will be your cutting line. Draw
two more lines, one on each side of the cutting line, 1/4" away.
These are your sewing lines. (Figure 1)
Sew the squares together on these two sewing lines and cut them on the
cutting line. Press out and you
will have two half-square triangle blocks.
Follow the colored diagram to put the half square triangle blocks together.
