  Water Wheel For the Water Wheel you will need: From your blue cut a strip 2 1/2 by 20 inches From your green cut two 4 7/8 inch squares and one 4 1/2 inch square From your floral cut a strip 2 1/2 by 20 inches and two 4 7/8 inch square Your finished block should measure 12 1/2 inches. Measure carefully, cut carefully and sew carefully, and you won't have any problems. |
We'll start off with the four patch corners. Place your blue strip right sides together with your floral, and sew them together with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Open and press to the blue. Now cut your strip into eight 2 1/2 inch segments, and then sew them back together into four patches which should measure 4 1/2 inches.
Take your 4 7/8 inch green and floral squares, and place them right sides together. Mark a line diagonally through the center of the white block, your cutting line. Sew 1/4 inch on either side of your line, and then cut on the cutting line. This gives you two 4 1/2 inch diagonal half squares. Repeat with the remaining 4 7/8 inch squares.
| Following this diagram assemble your Water Wheel. Your finished block should measure 12 1/2 inches. |
