CWA #3 quilt, Block 49 Rash Promises

Block 49 (#147) Rash Promises, p. 277 &129

This one is a good candidate for paper piecing or using templates, but here are the rotary instructions for the adventurous! Oh those pesky points!

3 fabrics (navy, red and cream)

Cut 2 navy rectangles 2 11/16” X 4”. With wrong sides together on two of the rectangles with 4“ length on top and bottom, cut 45 degrees from lower left corner to top of rectangle. Cut from lower right corner to the point at top of cut rectangle. Makes mirror image triangles (A with 45 degree angle on lower right & B with 45 degree on lower left). Repeat to make 2 of each.

Cut 2 red rectangles 2 11/16” X 4”. With wrong sides together on two of the rectangles with 4“ length on top and bottom, cut 45 degrees from lower left corner to top of rectangle. Cut from lower right corner to the point at top of cut rectangle. Makes mirror image triangles (A with 45 degree angle on lower right & B with 45 degree on lower left). Repeat to make 2 A and 2 B triangles.

Cut 2 cream squares 3 15/16” X 3 15/16”. Measure 1 13/16” along bottom from lower left corner and make a mark. Measure 1 13/16” along left side from lower left corner and make another mark. Cut from the marks to top right corner to make a ‘kite’ shape. Make 2

Cut 2 navy squares 3 15/16” X 3 15/16”. Measure 1 13/16” along bottom from lower left corner and make a mark. Measure 1 13/16” along left side from lower left corner and make another mark. Cut from the marks to top right corner to make a ‘kite’ shape. Make 2

1. Sew red A and B triangles to navy ‘kite’ (B on left, A on right side) along long edges. Repeat to make 2 large pieced triangles.

2. Sew navy A and B triangles to cream ‘kite’ (B on left, A on right side) along long edges. Repeat to make 2 large pieced triangles.

3. Sew Unit from step 1 to unit from step 2 with cream/navy triangle on the left. Repeat with remaining units from step 1 and step 2

4. Sew units from step 3 together. Done!

Sorry for delay but my computer mouse ‘died’ so was without the computer for several days!    Last block!  Thanks for all your patience, everyone. I enjoyed the process. Looking forward to seeing some completed quilts!
