This is a simple way to use your

stripe fabrics in an interesting way

and without complicated piecing.

Cutting Requirements:

Fabric A - Light:

4 - 2 1/2" squares

Mark a diagonal line on back.

Fabric B - Stripe:

4 - 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangles

Fabric C - Medium

4 - 2 1/2" squares

Fabric D - Dark

4 - 2 1/2" squares

Place Fabric A squares

right sides together on

Fabric B rectangles as

shown.  Take care to

place drawn line as shown.

Sew a thread width below the

drawn line to accomodate the

turn of the fabric.  Press to the

corner, trim back 2 layers to 1/4".

Sew Fabric C and Fabric D

squares together.  Press to

the dark fabric.

Layout units as shown.

Sew together and press

seam open to reduce bulk.

Square to 4 1/2".

Make 4 of these units.

Layout in 2 rows.

Sew together.  Press row 1 to

the striped fabric, press row 2

to the striped fabric.

Sew rows together.

Press seam open to reduce bulk.

Square to 8 1/2".

Here is another one I made.

Am I Stripe Deficient?

Am I Anti-Stripe?

I must admit I was hard pressed

to find striped fabric in my stash.

I had to rummage through the scrap

bins.  I guess I'll have to go shop

for fabric.  Poor me...
