(^5)
Referring to Diagram 6, use the
acrylic ruler with a 45º angle
to trim a subunit into a 3^1 ⁄ 2 × 91 ⁄ 2 "
rectangle unit. When trimming the
subunit to 9^1 ⁄ 2 " wide, adjust the ruler
so the bottom corner triangle tips
form 45º angles. Trim edges in this
order: sides, bottom, top. Repeat with
remaining subunits.
(^6)
Repeat steps 2–5 to make 108
rectangle units total.
(^7)
Sew together three rectangle units
to make a block (Diagram 7). The
block should be 9^1 ⁄ 2 " square including
seam allowances. Repeat to make 36
blocks total.
I love making
technique-based projects.
I call my approach the
Make It Simpler method.
