Quilt Shot Block #79 ~ Union

Union

12 ½ square

from the Union Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini 

 **********************************

Make 2½ inch half square triangles as follows:

 Pin one color to each background right sides together.

Mark as shown.

 

 Sew 1/4 inch from each side of the diagonal line.
Cut on solid lines.

 Press open and trim.

 

The demo above was not a 6x3 inch rectangle.  

It was larger so there was a lot more to trim to make a 2½ square.

 **********************

Make 4 Flying Geese as follows:

 Mark as shown.

 Stitch 1/4 inch on each side of the marked lines.

 Press open.

 Cut along marked lines.
