Mrs Martin’s Tip

For cutting tips please refer to Block 1

Always check the pic to make sure l have told you to join the right squares together. If l have made a mistake, please let me know, in my mind l am a genius, however in reality l am only human.

The spools face 2 ways, up and down to across, hence the 2 pics, make each pic twice.

Blue

•  A: 2 x 2″” squares,
• B: 4 x 1 5/8″ squares, cross cut once to make 2 triangles, you will need 8 triangles.
