<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe trickiest bit, then, is to sew the medium fabric to the original light one, and complete the seam along the triangle. As usual I forgot to take a photo of that part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iron all the seams open (photos here not ironed yet):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nNext step was to make one of each of the 16 triangles. Just to check I had all the fabrics planned in the right order to get the right effect. You really have to look at it from a distance to get the effect. But I was happy with this \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nThings I learnt so far and not to forget…. It really matters which way you cut the fat quarter up…. I cut a couple one way, getting 8 x 2.5″ strips instead of 7, thinking I was clever. However, I then only got 2 trapeziums out of each strip instead of 3, so ended up with 16 trapeziums rather than 21. I had to go buy some more fat quarters in those fabrics. Measure and calculate before cutting!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next stage is still in progress. Sewing the triangles into strips – Part 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Construction of a block. This is an ‘A’ block for my pattern. It will point to the right, with the light colour at the bottom. I start with a pile of the 3 fabric trapeziums (in light, medium and dark), and triangles. First align the triangle, right sides together to the right of the ‘light’ … <\/p>\n
