1 white square, 3 1/2” x 3 1/2”
8 scrappy strips, 2” x 5”
4 scrappy squares, 5” x 5”
8 white squares, 2” x 2”
Finished size: 12″ x 12″
1. Mark the smaller white squares with a diagonal line, corner to corner. Attach one white square to the top of each scrappy strip and sew along the diagonal line. Make sure 4 diagonals are sewn facing one direction, and the other 4 are sewn in the opposite direction.
2. Press open and trim excess fabric at corners 1/4" from the stitching line.
3. Arrange the block and begin by sewing strips together. Then assemble each row, and finally sew the rows together. Chain piecing will make this go much faster!
