Hi! If you enjoy this blog, please become a follower, I need to know if anyone is out there using these tutorials! And pop on over to the American Homestead blog and see what is going on in my life. All the best! ~ Ellen http://americanhomestead.blogspot.com Happy Autumn! Fabric Requirements: Fabric A: White: 4 - 3 1/4" squares - Mark a diagonal line on back. 1 - 6" square Fabric B: Brown 4 - 2 1/2" squares 4 - 3 1/4" squares Fabric C: Green 1 - 6" square 4 - 2 1/2" squares Fabric D: Gold 2 - 6" squares - Mark a diagonal line on back. Fabric E: Autumn print 1 - 4 1/2" square Make Half Square Triangles: Pair Fabric A and Fabric B 3 1/4" squares with right sides together.Sew 1/4" away from each side of drawn line, cut on drawn line and press to the dark fabric. Square to 2 1/2". Make Corner Units: Layout 2 1/2" units as shown and sew together in 2 rows. Press seam in row 1 to the left and seam in row 2 to the right. Sew rows together and press final seam open to reduce bulk. Square to 4 1/2". Make 4. Make Center Outer Units: Make Half Square Triangles by pairing 6" squares with right sides together in the following combinations: 1 - A/D 1 - C/D Sew a 1/4" away from each side of drawn line, cut on drawn line and press seams to Fabric D. Draw a diagonal line on back as shown above on the A/C units. Place A/D and C/D units right sides together along seam line. Make sure the seams "lock" together and pin. Then sew 1/4" away from each side of drawn line. Cut on drawn line and press final seam open to reduce bulk. See the instructions below for how to square a Quarter Square Triangle. We want to square this unit to 4 1/2". I placed a small piece of tape on the spot of my ruler where the 2 2 1/4" lines intersect. Place the 2 1/4" mark on the very center of the unit and make sure the diagonal line on the ruler runs along the diagonal seam. Trim the right and top seams. Rotate the square so the trimmed corner is now on the bottom left. Place your 2 1/4" mark on the center again but also make sure the 4 1/2" marks on the right bottom and top left are at the points of the triangles along the edge. Trim right side and top. Assemble Block: Layout units as shown and sew together in 3 rows. Press seams in rows 1 and 3 to the outside and seams in row 2 to the inside. Sew rows together and press final seams open to reduce bulk. Square to 12 1/2".
