Block #48 - Country Farm

4 light squares
1 light/dark 4-patch

4 light/medium (green) QST units
Sew the QST units -
With the light on top -
So that the light flips to the right side -
And makes a HST triangle -

Cut 2 squares - 2” x 2” - EACH -
Of 2 mediums -
And YES - I said - 2" - not 2-1/2" -
These are special - you'll see - ;))

One medium (green) should be the same -
As that used in the QST units above -
Cut the 2" squares on the diagonal -

Lay them out like this -
And sew them together -
With the medium (green) on top -

Match and sew them to -
A medium#2 QST triangle -
So that the medium (green) -
Is in the middle -
I’’m calling this a QST threesie -

They WON’T MATCH -
Because the 2” squares that I cut -
Are over-sized -
It will be trimmed later - ;))

Sew the HST triangle -
To the QST threesie -

Make 4 of them -

Trim them to 2-1/2” square -
The trimmings should be minimal - ;))

Lay it out with the light on the OUTSIDE -
Of the patch -

And assemble it as a 9-patch -

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
