The last block of this year’s block-of-the-month, Hindsight, is asymmetrical and original–truly one-of-a-kind. I hope you enjoy its unique abstract quality as much as I do. I think I saved the best for last …
Start by sewing the two larger triangles together along the diagonal (notice the slight overhang at each end of the diagonal):
Then do the same with the two smaller triangles:
Sew these two rectangular pieces together:
Trim 0.25″ from the edge where the diagonals come to a point:
Cut 4.25″ from the edge that you just trimmed:
Trim the opposite edge:
Cut 9.75″ from the edge you just trimmed and discard the skinny piece that you cut off:
Mark the center of all pieces including the 2″ x 18″ strip:
Sew the pieces together with the strip in between, lining up all center marks. Trim excess strip off each edge:
