Instructions1 Make Half Square Triangles - Draw a line on the diagonal of (1) 3½” Fabric A square. Place right sides together with (1) 3½” Fabric D square. Sew ¼” away from each side of the marked line. Cut apart at marked line and press. Trim to 3” square.

2 Repeat process from Step 1 to make HSTs from: – (1) 2½” Fabric A square + (1) 2½” Fabric D square – (1) 3½” Fabric B square + (1) 3½” Fabric D square – (1) 2½” Fabric B square + (1) 2½” Fabric D square

3 Use the Easy Corner Triangles method to create the boats - Draw a line along the diagonal of (2) 1½” Fabric A squares. Add these squares to the corners of (1) 1½” x 5” Fabric C rectangle. Sew on the marked line. Trim ¼” away from sewn line and press. Repeat with 1½” Fabric B squares and remaining Fabric C rectangle.

4 Assemble the top half of the sailboat block using Fabric A pieces as shown.

DIMENSIONS: 12" SQUARE FINISHED

5 Assemble the bottom half of the sailboat block using Fabric A piec-es as shown.

6 Join top and bottom halves to complete the sailboat block.

7 Repeat sailboat block assembly using Fabric B pieces but mirroring the block so the sails face the opposite direction.

Make ocean waves1 Cut corners of (1) 5” Fabric A square to create a rough circle. Using a large basting stitch, sew 1/8” from the edge all the way around your rough circle Pull basting thread until circle starts to bunch up. Place lightweight cardboard against the wrong side of fabric and continue to pull basting thread until the fabric fi ts tight around the circle. Press with steam and/or starch to set edge. Pop cardboard out and press again.

2 Center this circle on a 5” Fabric B square and top stitch in place. Repeat with Fabric B circle and Fabric A square.

3 Cut circle units into quarters. Trim background fabric from behind the applique pieces to reduce bulk..

4 Match up with quarter circles with the remaining Fabric A and Fabric B pieces as shown. Sew units together in rows to create ocean waves. Make two.

Assemble blockLayout block units as shown. Sew together in rows.

This block measures 12.5” square unfi nished.

Verify that this square measures 1” square
