Start with a selection of 8” or 10 squares. Stack up the squares with right side up.
For 8” squares cut 5 1/2” off
For 10” squares cut 6 1/2” off
Method
- Use 1/4” seam allowance throughout
- Make two piles of fabric (large pieces and small pieces)
- Turn small pile over
- Taking one from the large pile and one from the small pile (not the same fabric) sew the pieces together
- Press the seam to the side
- Turn the block and cut in half
- Mix up the new halves and sew them together in reverse
8” will finish at approximately 7 1/2”
10” will finish at approximately 9 1/2”
