Scrap Block #31



What you need:

Color fabric:

  • 4 - 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
  • 2 - 4 3/8" squares
  • 4 - 1 1/2" squares
White fabric:
  • 2 - 4 3/8" squares
  • 9 - 1 1/2" squares

Make the half square triangles (HST). Use the 4 3/8" squares. Lay one color fabric square on a white fabric square, then mark a diagonal line along the squares. Sew 1/4" away from both sides of the line, then cut along the line. Press open and trim  to measure 3 1/2" squares.





Repeat this with the second pair of squares so you have a total of 4 HSTs.


Sew together the 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles in pairs.


Sew together the 1 1/2" squares to make a nine patch block.




Assemble the block.
