#75 Rosebud

Cutting Instructions:

Color #1 (Yellow)

• 4- 3" finished half squares (3 1/2" strip with easy angle)
• 12- 1" finished half squares (1 1/2" strip with easy angle)

Color #2 (Blue)

• 4- 2" finished half squares (2 1/2" strip with easy angle)
• 8- 1" finished half squares (1 1/2" strip with easy angle)

Start by sewing the 1" finished half squares together (8), Press toward the darker color.  Save yourself some aggrevation later and square up to 1 1/2" with the square up ruler or any square with a bias line.  Join the half squares together in pairs and add the 1" finished remaining triangles (4).  I pressed the seam where I joined the half squares open to reduce the bulk.  Join with the 4 - 2" finished half squares to make a larger triangle unit.  Press toward the larger triangle.  Square up with the Easy Angle if necessary (match up with 3 1/2" line)

Join the units with the remaining triangles (they should be the same size) to make 4 - 3 1/2" square, then join together in a 4 patch fashion to complete the 6 1/2" block. 

If only the illustrations and instructions were as informative on garment patterns!!
