Sewing
1. Sew four strips together on the long side to make
(6) four strip units in the following fabric combinations:
Units 1 and 2: J-K-F-J Units 3 and 4: H-D-I-H
Units 5 and 6: E-L-G-E
2. Using the 45° angle on your quilter’s ruler cut the units
on the diagonal to make the half triangles needed to sew
the blocks. Refer to the diagram for cutting directions
(the measurement on the long side of the triangle will be
8-3/4”). Each strip unit will yield a total of 8 triangles (4
up and 4 down).
