Block # 15
1. T # 5 Dark Cut one 3-1/2 " square.
2. T # 12 Dark Cut one 3" square, Cut in half diagonally.
3. T # 12 Light Cut three 3" Squares, cut in half diagonally.
4. T # 7 Dark Cut a strip 2-3/8" x 10" long then cut every 2-3/8" to get four 2-3/8" squares then cut in half diagonally.
Note: Be careful with the bias edges on this block.
Really starch your fabric well to help keep the edges from
stretching.
I traced the templates w/seam allowances included onto freezer
paper then sewed thru paper and fabric-removed the freezer paper from the corners so it wouldn't be sewn under the folded area. It took a little longer but I was very pleased with the results.
