Block #6

I apologize that this one has taken longer than normal for me to get done this month. 

You'll need four different colors from your "blocks" fabric for this block, so select four and designate them #1, #2, #3, and #4.

You'll need:

Eight 5" squares of background fabric
Two 5" squares of fabric #1 (Zigzag)
Two 5" squares of fabric #2 (Blue)
Two 5" squares of fabric #3 (Grey)

Two 5" squares of fabric #4 (Green)

Using the directions from this blog post, use the above fabrics to make 16 half square triangles. Arrange them as seen in this picture.




Sew them together into four rows

And sew the rows together, matching up corners, to get the finished block

Six down three to go

Half Square Triangle Construction

Preface: We're going to be using 5" squares to construct the blocks, so from the background/sashing fabric, you're gong to be cutting 72 5" squares, and 72 5" squares from the blocks fabrics. You don't have to cut them all at once, just be aware that that's the plan. 

Instructions:  

Mark diagonal lines on back of 5” Background squares.

Lay marked square Right Sides Together on colored 5” square.

Stitch ¼” on both sides of marked line.

Cut apart on line.

Press to dark.

Trim each to 4” square.



Ta-Da! Now you have two half square triangles.



If that wasn't 100% understandable, here is a 30 second video showing you how to do it.
