Carolina’s block is made in lovely calm colors!

INSTRUCTIONS

Make Half Square Triangles (HST)

Do this process with the 4 white squares of 5 1/4 ”and the two squares of the same size of the light blue and the dark blue fabric. You will assemble 8 half-square triangles that you must square up to the size of 4 1/2".

Press the seams and trim the block down to 4.5 inches square.

 

CENTRAL SQUARE

For this square you will use the 3 1/4 ”white square and the two 3” light blue squares.

 

 

 

FINAL ASSEMBLY

  • Arrange your blocks in correct layout
  • Using a quarter inch seam allowance, sew together in rows. Join all rows, using a quarter inch seam allowance.
  • Press your completed block and trim down to 12.5″ square (if necessary).

And that’s all!

I hope you enjoy this new block! And don’t forget to share it!
