i've attached a pic so you can see which section i'm talking about easier.

cut 2 strips of the red fabric 1 inch by the width of the fabric
cut 1 strip of the gold fabric 1 inch by the width of the fabric.

now sew the 3 strips together with the gold fabric in the middle.

now press the strip set.


now you will cut the strip set every 2 inches - basically you're cutting 2 inch squares. you'll need 4 per block so 72 for all 18 blocks.


from the green fabric you cut 2 inch squares you need 4 per block so 72 for all 18 blocks.

once you have the pieces all cut out you can sew the rows (1,2,3) and then when you have all of those you can sew the 3 rows to each other to finish the block.

when pressing the rows before sewing them to each other press the seams out on rows 1 & 3 and press the seams in on row 2.

this way when go to sew the rows to each other the seams will nest with each other and help you match the seam lines.



is it clear? do you have any questions?
