First Color Set: Four BlocksFabric Print 1 & Fabric Print 2The first set of 4 blocks are created using prints 1 and 2. Two blocks are double cut, and two blocks are double-triple cut. |
Double Cut: 2 blocks1. Lay one 10" square of Print 1 directly over a 10" square of Print 2. Both fabrics are right side up. 2. Make two cut lines through both layers. They do not have to be parallel, but should be straight lines (refer to following photo). |
3. Re-arrange your pieces so that the center pieces of each square is placed with the other square (refer to following photo). 4. Stitch the sections of each block together. You now have two stitched blocks. Press seams toward the darker fabric. NOTE: It is not necessary for the seams to be perfectly matched up. These are "crazy blocks", so imperfections are OK. When you square down the block, sides will be straightened and size will be corrected. |
5. Lay one stitched block directly on top of the other, both right side up and lying in the same direction (refer to following image). Previous cuts (now stitched) should be vertical. DOUBLE CUT: Cut two horizontal lines across the block, cutting through both layers of fabric (refer to following image). |
Re-arrange pieces so that the center of one block is now the center of the other block (refer to following image). Stitch sections together and press seams. You now have two completed double cut blocks. The image shows the two blocks, stitched together. |
Double Triple Cut: 2 blocksWe are still using the same two fabrics. Follow directions in steps 1-4 above. Follow the directions under "Double Cut" except make THREE cut lines instead of two at step 2. Use one 10" square of each fabric; create two triple cut blocks. Re-arrange the segments and stitch pieces together. |
