Step 3. Referring to the next 3 photos, sew together 2 HSTs and 1 - 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" white fabric piece. Make 2 of these blocks. Pressing: Press to the dark fabric, then to the HSTs.





Step 4. Using the remaining HSTs and the remaining 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" pieces, make the blocks shown in the next photo. Use the previous sewing method.
