In a Pinch

 

Start with a stack of 9 1/2" squares laid right sides up.  Use at least 3 pins to secure the stack.

First cut: Place cutting edge of the ruler  at the top of the square, 4 ½” from the left side and angled to 2 1/2” from the bottom left side.  Cut.

Second Cut: Move ruler to the right and place cutting side 1” from the top right corner  and angled to 5 ¾” from the bottom left side. Cut.

Repeat for remaining squares.

 

Place each of the 3 sections in a separate pile (3 piles in total). Number piles (1,2,3)  Take the top section of #2 and put at the bottom of its pile, take the top two of section 3 and put to the bottom of its pile.

 

Cut a strip of black (or desired colour) of fabric 1 inch wide by width of fabric.   Lightly press in half lengthwise.

 

Place  one # 1 section right side up on the table, align the folded black strip with raw edges to the long right side.  Place section 2 face down on section 1 and strip aligning edges.  Sew and press open.

Place block right side up on table and lay black strip along right long raw edge.  Place section 3 on top aligning edges.  Sew and press open.
