Carolina’s block is made in lovely calm colors!
Remember that all the blocks will have a finished size of 12” so that means the unfinished size will be 12 1/2”

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!
