And now we get to move onto another familiar block, the . . .
From your Month #6, Four Links bag, cut the fabrics according to page 1 of the supplemental cutting list.
And now one last Familiar block, the . . .
From your Month #6, Framed Ohio Star bag, cut the fabrics according to page 1 of the supplemental cutting list taking into account the following changes. Note - There are a Few Changes to the cutting, but no worries, you will still have plenty of Fabric :) From the Gold Print, cut (4) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares and (1) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square. From the Blue print cut (1) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square. The Dark Print and Light Print are cut the same as listed.
Gather 2 Black 3 1/2" squares, a Light 3 1/2" square and a Gold 3 1/2" square. Pair them into two groups as shown below.
We will now turn the HST's into Quarter Square Triangles. Align two different HST's with the black triangles opposite as shown below. Place the Light HST onto the Gold HST with right sides together. Align and Nest the center seam. The Black Triangles should be on opposite sides. Draw a line diagonally from corner to corner on the opposite side of the seam. Sew a 1/4" seam on either side of the drawn line. Repeat for both sets of HST's .
Now cut on the drawn line of both sets. Press the seams open to create 4 Quarter Square Triangles. Using a 2 1/2" Square ruler, align the diagonal on the ruler with the diagonal seam and the center circle of the ruler with the center of the block. Trim the block to 2 1/2" square. Trim all 4 Quarter Square Triangle units.
Layout the 4 Quarter Square Triangle units, 4 Gold 2 1/2" squares, and the 1 Blue Center square as shown below.
Place the units in the center column onto the units in the first column with right sides together. Align and Pin and then stitch a 1/4" seam along the 3 pinned edges.
Then, place the units in the last column onto the units in the center column with right sides together. Align and Pin and then stitch a 1/4" seam along the 3 pinned edges.
Press the seams in the first and third row out towards the Gold squares. Press the seams in the second row in towards the Blue square.
Now, place the First Row onto the Second Row with right sides together. Align and Pin the seams and then stitch a 1/4" seam along the pinned edge. When stitching, be sure to stitch directly along the bottom of the thread V's to give you perfect points.
And now, place the Third Row onto the Second Row with right sides together. Align and Pin the seams and then stitch a 1/4" seam along the pinned edge catching the points of your thread V's. Press the last 2 seams open.
Now layout, the 4 light rectangles around the Ohio Star Unit as shown.
Place the 2 short rectangles onto the sides of the Ohio Star Unit with right sides together. Align and stitch a 1/4" seam along the edges.
Press the seams outwards. Place the 2 longer rectangles onto the top and bottom of the pieced center square with right sides together. Align and stitch a 1/4" seam along the edges. Once again, Press the seams outwards.
And now you have made a Framed Ohio Star Block that should be measuring 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" unfinished.
