quilt-a-long week 4

Are you all ready for another block?

More triangles today. (sorry) But I really love this block and I think they are worth it.

cut 4 squares 3 7/8" from 2 different coordinating fabrics, for a total of 8 squares.

cut 8 squares 3 7/8" from the background fabric.

draw a line with pencil on wrong side of the background fabric from one corner to the opposite corner.
pin 2 squares right sides together-one background fabric, one colored fabric.

sew 2 lines-each one 1/4" from the line that you drew.

cut apart on the line, press and you have 2 squares.
not so bad, right?
continue doing this technique with remaining squares, pairing a colored and a background fabric each time.
you should now have 16 squares.

layout as shown

sew your strips together

and your block is done!
it should measure about 12.5" square.

any questions about this block will be answered in the comments.
happy quilting!
