From the print you will need to cut:
8 - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
8 - 1 1/2" x 3 1/4"
4 - 1 1/4" x 1 1/2"


From the background cut:
12 - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
4 - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
4 - 1 1/4" x 3 1/4"
4 - 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"
1 - 1 1/4" x 1 1/4"




First make the center of the block.
It's sewn together like a 9 patch.
The center square is the

smallest background square (1 1/4")
and the four outside squares are the 1 1/2" size.
The prints are the small rectangles (1 1/4" x 1 1/2")



Now take the print rectangles and place the background rectangle in the center and sew.



Pair up the 3 1/4" squares to make half square triangles.
Mark a diagonal line and sew on either side then cut on line.



Lay the segments out on your design board and sew them together like this.
Another 9 patch!


Sew background rectangles onto each side of the remaining 3 1/4" print squares.


Press them in half to mark the center and then press the remaining four background rectangles in half as well.


Place the rectangle onto the printed square and line up the pressed creases.
Pin and sew.



Sew one to all four sides of the block.
Sew two opposite sides first and press. then sew the two remaining.

Make sure these seams line up.




Using 12 1/2" Trim - It Ruler.
Whatever 12 1/2" ruler that you use make sure that the block is centered before trimming.
