Press lines of stitching to set seam and cut apart

Lay triangle unit dark side up on the ironing board finger press open, then lightly press with iron, being careful not to distort your finished unit. This will result in the seam allowance being pressed towards the dark fabric. Trim off dog ears and your half square unit is finished.(Pic 4a-f)

If you are using a lot of these units in a block you may want to press the seam allowance open to reduce bulk, but for the split 9 Patch, pressed to one side will be fine
