June Block of the Month: Susannah

There are several variations on this block, mostly surrounding changing the color of the outer four blocks. Depending on how you change up the outer blocks and inner triangles, you can get some very interesting variations!
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
BACKRGROUND FABRIC | LIGHT FABRIC | MEDIUM FABRIC | DARK FABRIC |
(4) 3 1⁄2” squares | (1) 6 1⁄2” square | (4) 3 1⁄2” squares | (1) 3 1⁄2” x 14” strip |
(1) 3 1⁄2” x 14” strip |


Sew on both diagonal lines, then trim ¼” away from both seams. Press the corners open with the seam allowance toward the darker fabric


Place (2) 3 ½” medium squares in the remaining opposite corners of the 6 ½” light fabric square. Sew on the diagonal lines and trim ¼” away from the seams. Press the corners open with the seams toward the darker fabric. Finished Square in a Square should measure 6 ½” x 6 ½”.


Next is the strip piecing. This makes the process of assembling the block a bit quicker. Take the medium and dark fabric strips and sew them together on one long side. Press the seam toward the darker fabric.

Subcut the strips into 3 1/2” sections.
