Next up is the alternating block and we’ll need 12 of those.
For today, I’m going to be out of town and away from the computer when you see this. If something doesn’t look right, leave a question and wait for me to get back and respond. I think it’s all right but I hate not being able to answer comments/questions immediately.
1. Fabrics 2 and 4: From each, cut 2 – 2″ strips. Make two strip sets using Fabrics 2 and 4. Cut those into 24 – 2″ segments.
2. Sew those segments together to make 12 four patches.
3. Fabric 3: Cut 3 – 3-7/8″ strips. Cut those into 24 – 3-7/8″ squares and cut those on the diagonal once so you have 48 triangles.
4. Sew the triangles to the four patches as follows. Pay careful attention to where the Fabric 2 square is located and get your Fabric 3 triangles lined up correctly. Make 12.
5. Fabrics 4 and 5: From each, cut 2 – 2″ strips. Make two strip sets using Fabrics 4 and 5. Cut those into 24 – 2″ segments.
6. Fabric 5: Cut 3 – 2″ strips. Cut these into 24 – 2″ x 3-1/2″ segments. Sew those segments to the top of the previous segment. Make 24.

sure was disappointed to realize that i had cut (and sewn) the triangles from the wrong fabric. grandkids here this week. quilting happening on a catch as catch can basis. i am gonna blame it all on that and not on my just not paying attention. glad i noticed it this morning before i went any further though. looks like morning coffee is gonna be on the porch with my seam ripper instead of at the machine doing the third part of step 7…….at the rate i am going i will be just finishing up by the time step 8 is posted ;o)
