on Pattern Sheet 4.

▫ 37 ∕ 8 yards total assorted dark
prints (blocks)

CUT FABRICS

Cut pieces in the following order.

Designer Annette Plog 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 assorted dark prints, cut

120 matching sets of:

▫ 2—2^7 ∕ 8 " squares

▫ 10—1^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From assorted light prints, cut

120 matching sets of:

▫ 2—2^7 ∕ 8 " squares

▫ 10—1^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From navy print, cut:

▫ 7—2^1 ∕ 2 ×42" binding strips

ASSEMBLE BLOCKS

Measurements include^1 ∕ 4 " seam

allowances. Sew with right sides

together unless otherwise stated.

Press seams in directions indicated

by arrows on diagrams. If no direction

is specified, press seam toward darker

fabric.

1. Gather a set of dark print pieces
   (two 2^7 ∕ 8 " squares and ten 1^1 ∕ 2 " squares)
   and a set of light print pieces (two 2^7 ∕ 8 "
   squares and ten 1^1 ∕ 2 " squares).


2. Sew together two dark print and
   two light print 1^1 ∕ 2 " squares in pairs
   (Diagram 1). Join pairs to make a
   Four-Patch unit. The unit should be
   21 ∕ 2 " square including seam allowances.
   Make five Four-Patch units total.


3. Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line
   on wrong side of each light print 2^7 ∕ 8 "
   square.
   4. Layer a marked light print square
   atop a dark print 2^7 ∕ 8 " square. Sew
   together with two seams, stitching

(^1) ∕ 4 " on each side of marked line
(Diagram 2). Cut apart on marked
line. Press open to make two triangle-
squares. Each triangle-square should
be 2^1 ∕ 2 " square including seam
allowances. Repeat to make four
triangle-squares total.

5. Lay out Four-Patch units and
   triangle-squares in three rows
   (Diagram 3; note orientation of
   triangle-squares). Sew together pieces
   in rows. Join rows to make Block A. The
   block should be 6^1 ∕ 2 " square including
   seam allowances.


6. Repeat steps 1–5 to make 60 A
   blocks total.
