CUT FABRICS

Cut pieces in the following order.

Designer Amanda Niederhauser

prefers to make triangle-squares

larger than necessary and trim them

to size. To use this method, cut 3"

squares instead of the 2^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

listed in cutting instructions.

From white print, cut:

▫ 84—2^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

▫ 21—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

From gold print, cut:

▫ 7—2^1 ⁄ 2 ×42" binding strips

▫ 84—4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

▫ 84—2^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

▫ 84—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 " rectangles

From each green print and aqua dot,

cut:

▫ 40—2^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

From each dark green print and

aqua plaid, cut:

▫ 44—2^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

From light pink print, cut:

▫ 40—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

From teal print, cut:

▫ 84—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

From pink print, cut:

▫ 44—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

From red print, cut

▫ 21—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

Measurements include^1 ⁄ 4 " seam

allowances. Sew with right sides

together unless otherwise stated.

Press seams in directions indicated

1

Use a pencil to mark a diagonal

line on wrong side of each white

print and gold print 2^7 ⁄ 8 " square.

2

Layer a marked white print

square atop a green print 2^7 ⁄ 8 "

square. Sew together with two

seams, stitching^1 ⁄ 4 " on each side of

marked line (Diagram 1). Cut apart

on marked line. Press open to make

two white triangle-squares. Each

triangle-square should be 2^1 ⁄ 2 " square

including seam allowances.

3

Using a marked gold print square

and a green print 2^7 ⁄ 8 " square,

repeat Step 2 to make two gold

triangle-squares (Diagram 2).

4

Referring to Diagram 3, sew

together white and gold triangle-

squares in pairs to make a green

corner unit. The unit should be 4^1 ⁄ 2 "

square including seam allowances.

Repeat steps 2–4 to make 20

green corner units total.
