line. Cut pair apart on drawn line;
press open to make two white triangle-
squares (Diagram 3). Each triangle-
square should be 3^1 ∕ 2 " square including
seam allowances. Repeat to make 32
white triangle-squares total.7. Working with one two-color
print combination and referring
to Diagram 4, lay out seven print
triangle-squares, eight Rail Fence
units, a pair of print 3^1 ∕ 2 " squares, two
white print 3^1 ∕ 2 " squares, two white
print 3^1 ∕ 2 × 61 ∕ 2 " rectangles, and two
white triangle-squares in five rows.
Join units in rows; join rows to make a
block. The block should be 15^1 ∕ 2 " square
including seam allowances.apart on drawn line; press open to
make two print triangle-squares. Each
triangle-square should be 3^1 ∕ 2 " square
including seam allowances.
Repeat Step 3 to make 128 (16 sets
of eight) print triangle-squares total.
(You will have one triangle-square
from each set left over.)
Use a pencil to mark a diagonal
line on wrong side of white print
37 ∕ 8 " squares.
Layer a marked white print square
atop a black-and-white print 3^7 ∕ 8 "
square. Sew together with two seams,
