Sew Cut
1. Mark a diagonal line on the back side of (64) Background 4 1/4” squares. (Figure 1)
2. Place the marked square RST with a Fabric A 4 1/2” square. (Figure 2)
3. Sew 1/4” away from the marked line on both sides of the marking. (Figure 3)
4. Cut along the marked line. (Figure 4)
5. Press the seams towards the Fabric A piece. Square the block to 3 1/2” square. Each 4 1/4” set will yield (2) HSTs. Make a total of (16) HSTs. (Figure 5)
6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 with Fabrics B - F creating a total of (64) HSTs.
7. Using the graph below and the HST instructions in steps 1 - 5 make (16) HSTs of each pairing.
