Block of the Month
April-May
April's Block of the Month is called Folded Attic Windows by Cheryl Phillips
 |
Your packet with instructions came with two fabric triangles - a medium green and a darker green. In the illustrated instructions, the darker green is labeled B and the medium green is A. |
 |
Cut out the paper template of the 8" triangle in your packet. Within that template, cut out the square window in the corner of the triangle. On a floral fabric of your choosing, position the square window to frame a flower and cut the entire triangle piece. |
 |
Fold the floral triangle in half with wrong sides together. |
 |
Layer the pieces as shown in the diagram: Triangle B, folded floral triangle with the fold to the center, raw edges even, and points together, finally Triangle A with right side matching the right side of B. |
  |
One seam along the diagonal edge of triangles A and B with the folded floral triangle sandwiched between is all you need to complete the construction. Press seam open on the wrong side. Turn over and flatten floral piece to form a square. Zigzag or baste the raw edges of the floral piece to secure. |
| I did not trim the green triangles to 7" before sewing so that the winner of the blocks would have more flexibility in standardizing the finished block size. |
