Okay now on to how to make the Boston Blocks
When I developed this method I wanted something that didn't have alot of math involved. I wanted it quick and easy to make.
so I used swatches of fabric. I call it rough cut when you just cut off a piece of fabric. You can use scraps also.
You need a light a medium and a dark for this first one. After that follow the colors you need to make the other Bostons.
Here you see two different sets of swatches. One set the medium is on the rt side and the other set the med is on the left side. This makes them mirror images. You will need to watch for this when making your blocks.

Here I've sewn the top two swatches together
I trimmed the bottom of the joined swatches to a straight edge

Place the template on the seams so the corners match the seams
Don't let it move while you cut it out
