Ok all! Let's get going on the other part of the block!
This time you will be putting a dark quarter of the 4-patch against the wide part of the half square triangle (HST). This is unlike the other sections where the dark part of the 4-patch went to the point.
Press towards the HST - so that our seams will butt when we put it together.
But the seams in the middle and sew two of these together. Press towards a side or swirl your seams in the middle. Notice the chain running through the block?
See how the two different units (last weeks and this weeks) are not identical? We need to have the chain running through the blocks so that it will all line up at the end.
Try to get contrast between you HST fabric and your squares so that there is some definition. Try to avoid things like two dark greens together or two reds etc. This was a bit of a challenge sometimes but if it happens don't sweat too much about it!
So, how is it all coming along? Are you keeping up? Or, are you collecting the steps? Let's here how you are doing! Also, feel free to share any pictures on the facebook page!
Happy sewing!
