Cutting directions for this block can be found on page 24 left hand column. There are two cutting options for this 7" block.... I used the first option with the smaller center square. You can use either one depending on your fabric print size... the finished size of the block is the same either way.
I start by sewing the top and bottom strip to the center square. Then add the two side strips.
Next we add opposite triangles to the block. To make sure the block is centered, I fold both the center square and the triangles in half.
The triangles are then pinned matching the triangle and square folds
Repeat with the other two opposite triangles.
Lastly we need to add the final border strips.
Again, working with opposite sides, lay the block on top of the strip. Pin the two ends and the center. When stitching, aim to be just above the "X" formed by previous stitching to preserve your points.
Repeat with the opposite side and then the remaining two sides to complete the block.
