Evelyn's June Block for Hive #3

I chose an extra easy block so you can make it in a hurry and have plenty of time for summer fun. The pattern and instructions can also be found at quilterscache.com. Click on blocks by size--12" and scroll down to Mr. Roosevelt's Necktie. Please make this block with a white, cream or light tan background and use any color (print or solid) for the tie. Cut six 3 1/2" colored squares and eight 3 1/2" light squares. The colored squares can be all one color or six different ones.

Cut one 4" colored and one 4" light square. Cut each of these 4" squares on the diagonal. With a light and dark triangle right sides together, sew a 1/4" seam on the diagonal side. Repeat with remaining triangles. Press seams toward the colored triangles and trim blocks to 3 1/2".

Sew squares together into four rows as pictured:

Sew rows together and press block. It should measure 12 1/2". Happy sewing and thanks a bunch.
