Pink Lemonade Part 2

We are moving on to the half blocks. It would be so easy and tempting to make one whole block, then cut it in half, but then you'd lose any seam allowance. I like to make humble quilts (like some our grandmother's made) but as long as we have the extra fabric we will do it right.
To make 2 half blocks:
From printed fabric, cut:
1- 2 3/4" square then cut it twice on the diagonal for 4 quarter square triangles.
2- 2 3/8" squares, then cut once on the diagonal for 4 half square triangles.
These may be easy to get confused so be careful.
From background/pink cut:
4 2" squares
1- 2 3/4" square then cut it twice on the diagonal for 4 quarter square triangles
1 2 3/8" square, then cut once on the diagonal for 2 half square triangles

Lay out your fabric as show above. Sew together the quarter square triangles making sure to line them up so the straight of grain is on the outside to prevent stretching.
Match up your triangles to make the corner square.

Sew together in rows.

Then sew those rows together.

I never stray too far from grandmother's humble piecing! LOL

To make the quiltalong like the original you will need ten (10) half blocks. I made mine in  pairs with the same fabric

Happy Monday!!
