I am making Monday my Farmers Wife day so far so good...
In both #13 & #14, there are 8 two-color squares (different sizes for each block). For each block, if you have enough of your two fabrics to sew together 2 strips, ON THE BIAS, the exact depth of the template x 3? squares wide (measure & be sure it's long enough for the number of squares you need to cut), you can then cut your two-tone squares out on the straight of grain. You have to sew 2 seam lines to where the top stitching line & the point of the triangle template fit just within the 2 lines of stitches ... then after you cut your first triangle (opened up it will be the 2-tone square you need), you flip the template and cut one in the other direction ... until you have 8. I use this method on all my blocks that have 2-color squares; it is quick, it is easy, it is accurate.
