Hive #4 - May Block

Hello Everyone, my name is Lynn Hurst and I live in Saco, Maine USA.  

Now on to my block:

 Finished Block 8 1/2" 

2 blocks each please 

black, off white, and red scraps

(Please No Solids)
Please use a variety of fabrics- I love scrappy!

Here's the finished block:

Here's how I make half square triangles:

Please feel free to make them using your favorite method.

Finished size is 2 1/2"

I'm starting with a 3 1/2" square which will give me a 2 1/2" finished size. 

First I cut my squares to 3 1/2 inches.

Then on the light squares I draw a diagonal line.

Then put your two pieces of fabric right sides together.

Then I sew a 1/4" on each side of the line.

Then cut on the diagonal line.

Iron the seam over to the dark side or you can iron the seam open.

Then I trim my block to 2 1/2" 

Block out layout

Then start at your top left 

and lay the black & off white square on top of the red & off white square.

 

Sew together

You should now have 4 rows of 4 blocks. 

Iron the rows 

Sew the rows together, be careful to match your seams.

Finished Size 8 1/2"  

Please do not trim down.

Well I hope you enjoy making this block - I can't wait to see them!

I'm so excited - thank you!
