Then
cut apart on the marked line and press to the dark side. Square up to a
2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Making 16 half square triangles (hst) of the green
and 4 brown half square triangles.
Once
all the half square triangles are made layout the squares this way to
make the pinwheels. Assemble the units, combining the units by sewing
laying the right on the left side unit. Press the top half units to the
right and the bottom units to the left. When all the top units and the
bottom units are assembled sew the the top to the bottom and press to
the bottom. Making 4 units of the green.







Repeat on the opposite corner with the 2 1/2" blue square. 







Then
you can start the center blocks by making half Square blocks. You
start with combining 2 1/2" square block with triangle on each side to
make a large triangle then sewing the brown triangle to make a large
half Square block that measures 4 1/2".
Then
for the other center unit you need to combine 2 1/2" square with an 2
1/2" half square triangle to make a row. Then sew a 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"
rectangle on the bottom of the squares that were just combined.

After
the cleaning, was done I started working on Block 11 of the 2013
Designer Mystery Block of Month. Block 11 is called "Perennial
Petals". Once that pieces are cut and marked, I made 4 half square
triangles.
Then I started on the pedals, which is a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles, with 2 squares sewn on the bottom corners.
After I laid out the block with all the pieces, the assembly of the block was fast and easy.


After
that you need to sew the 2" squares across the side ends so they across
the three different fabrics. Need to that for both sides. The Petals
are done once you trim and press open.
Next
you are going to make the center of the flower. You make four small
flying geese units. Then sew them to 2 1/2" green and cream fabrics
that were sewn together.
