As promised, the final instructions.

Are you ready?  Gather 36 trimmed triangle units, along with the medium and light prints.


From the medium print cut 9, 5" squares.  Then cut into 4ths on the diagonal.

Assemble units according to the picture above, press seams open to decrease bulk.


Trim each side evenly.  Allow a very fat 1/4" seam allowance along each edge, outside of the dark triangle points.


From the light print, cut out 6 rectangles measuring 7-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Fabric needs to be heavily starched before cutting.


Align your pieced triangle units accordingly and pin face down onto the light rectangle.  Leave room in the center and along each side for trimming later.

Sew a 1/4" seam along the top of each triangle unit.  Do this by sewing all the top pieces down in a chain piecing fashion, clip apart, reverse units, and sew on opposite triangle unit.

Remove pins, cut apart evenly along top of 1/4" seam, press center seams open, trim blocks up.  They should measure around 6-3/4".  Ta Da!  Easy peasy.
