Block #3

1. light- Template # 4 Cut 1- 2 1/2 " square

2. light- Template # 5 Cut 1 - 3 1/2 " square

3. dark- Templates # 6 and 6 R Cut 1 strip 2" x 7" long
Use templates to cut pieces.

4. dark- Template #7 cut 1- 2 3/8" square. Cut in half diagonally.

5. light- Template # 7 cut 1- 2 3/8" square cut in half diagonally

OPTION: Instead of above, you may choose to cut 2- 2" squares -place them on the correct side of the light rectangle.
sew on the center line of the square diagonally, press flip the little to the corner, press again then trim away the corner underneath. Just make sure the sewing line is going in the correct direction

6. light- Template # 8 cut 1- 3 1/7/8" square, cut in half diagonally, use only one.

7. light- Template # 9 cut 2 2" x 3 1/2 " rectangle.

8. dark- Template # 10 cut one- 7/8" x 7 7/8" strip on the bias.

Option: Use curved template for applique.






Block # 4
1. light- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long

2. med- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long

3. dark- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long

Sew in the order of light,med,dark- the strips lengthwise,
press to the dark side then cut into 3-1/2" pieces.

I have given the length of 14 inches so there will be room for trimming.

Much better than the templates which take me ages to do.
Thanks for the hard work in sorting it out for us.

For T # 8 cut a square 3 7/8" then cut in half diagonally. these are correct sizes from the templates.
Please note that you can increase these sizes by a 1/16 of an inch. I find it just makes the finished piece more true to size after the joining, pressing, wobbly seams, etc. You can always trim. you can't add a piece. Anne

So much for my intentions of hand piecing this is so much easier, thanks Honchey I really appreciate your willingness to do this.
