Choose two fabrics, a light and a dark. You will need: Light fabric: Section A -- Cut 8 squares 2 5/8". These are cut in half diagonally to make 16 triangles. Dark fabric: Section B -- Cut 8 squares 2 5/8". These are cut in half diagonally to make 16 triangles. Directions for sewing: (All seams are 1/4 ".) **Pay close attention to the exploded block for placement of pieces. a. Join 1 light A triangle to one dark B triangle to make 16 half square triangle blocks. b. Join the half square triangle blocks together in rows carefully following the dark/light placement in the exploded diagram. *Note: There are many ways to make 1/2 square triangles, you may wish to use an alternate method than that stated here. For example, Thangles, Triangles on a roll, or check these websites for additional information. http://www.geocities.com/~crazyquilters2/Lessons/Beg3/instruct7.html http://www.kathkwilts.com/lessons/halfsqr.html *Note: There are many ways to make 1/2 square triangles, you may wish to use an alternate method than that stated here.
