Country Corners Month #4

Hello Everyone,
 
It's that time again......Country Corners block #4.  I LOVE THIS BLOCK!
 

Here is a picture of the components you will be making for this block: 


Here are your cutting directions.  Follow the construction techniques in your Patchwork Math book.

4-Patch – Make (4) Directions on Page #14
Cut (8) Squares 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” Light fabric
Cut (8) Squares 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” Dark fabric

Trim to 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
 
Quarter Square Triangles – Make (8) Directions on Page #8
Cut (2) 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” Light fabric
Cut (4) 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” Dark fabric
Cut (2) 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” Medium fabric

      Trim to 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
Square in a triangle – Make (4) Direction on Page #24
Cut (4) Piece A 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” Dark fabric
Cut (4) Piece B 1-1/2” x 2-1/2” Light fabric
Cut (2) Piece C 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” Dark fabric
 
      Trim to 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
Cut (4) rectangles 1-1/2” x 4-1/2” Light fabric
Cut (1) square 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” Medium
After you make the components, lay them out like this.  Begin by assembling the components as shown in the red square.  Assemble all four sections then sew them together with the rectangles between the sections.  It really isn't hard and it will make sense to you once you get going.

You can also change the components around a bit to alter the look of the block.  This is Barbara's block from class last month.

 
If you ever have any questions, I'm just an email away at sewnwildoaks@gmail.com

Soon,
Lynn
