2019 Gypsy Wife Section 4 Courthouse Steps & Assembly

Before beginning each block, I strongly suggest you read through the entire directions and look at the pictures to be sure you understand each step and to ensure that you cut correctly.

As always, remember your accuracy in cutting…
keeping the measuring line of your ruler ON the fabric.


**********************************

This is an easily assembled block. 


  


Be careful to assemble the block in the same direction as you add each round… adding the top and bottom strips first. I pressed the seams open, away from the center block, before adding the two side strips.


Add each additional round in the same manner.  Top and bottom;  press; then the two sides     
                          
TIP:  Match up your edges and pin at the beginning and end.  As you sew along any excess or shortage will be eased in.




Now to assemble Section 4, we sew the Courthouse Steps Block and the Half Square Triangles Block together.  Again, I use pins to hold the seams down and in place.   


 


Voila, Section 4 is complete.  I’ve got it taped up on my wall (with painters tape) and I’m ready to begin Section 5. 



Hold on to this section and we will assemble it into the quilt later.

Thanks for following along.
