Triple Strip Block

Triple Strip Shortcut Blocks

      

You will need a 2 ½” hard plastic template.

You could use scraps or a fat eighth per color for the fabric

        Step 1:

Cut one left strip – 2 ½” x refer to pattern for length.   Here I used 7 ½” which made 2 blocks

    Cut middle strip   -  1 ½” x same as above strip           You can use any length you are ok with

    Cut right strip       -  1 ½” x same as above                   Recycle leftovers into more squares!

        

            

Step 2:

   

    Sew the left strip and the middle strip together. Trim the middle strip to 1”

                    

              

 Step 3:

          Sew the right strip to the middle strip.

         

   Step 4:

         Lay the template on the seam as you see below.

                              

       

Step 5:

       Make sure you use the seam between the left and middle strips.  

         Using a rotary cutter cut out the square.

         Cutting out as accurately as you can will help avoid problems later.

         Continue cutting out more squares from your strips.
