Here are the pieces you need for this block. Oops, I
included an extra cream square….
Start by making all of your half square
triangles first. I trimmed some extra half square triangles to make this
block. If you’ve got some that
will work, trim those to 2 ½” square.
Lay out your pieces and sew into rows. Iron the middle row toward the
center square. Iron the top and
bottom row away from the middle.
Sew the rows together and iron.
Sorry for the delay in getting Triangle Thursday posted. The snow and no power made it hard to sew the block yesterday! Enjoy and see you next Thursday for Triangle Thursday.
Happy Quilting
