Block # 2

Spring Tulip

    What better symbol of Spring than a tulip growing straight upward drinking the warm sunshine.  Think Spring as
     you complete this "Spring Tulip".

* please make note that many of the fabric requirement are cut a bit larger than actually needed.  This will make it easier to square up the various pieces in each block.

fabric requirements:
a. 1 - 2 1/2" square light
b. 3 - 3 1/2" squares light *
c. 2 - 3 1/2" squares medium light *
d. 2 - 3 1/2" squares medium *
e. 1 - 3 1/2" squares medium dark *
f.  1 - 2 1/2" square medium dark *
g. 5 - 2 1/2" squares dark
h. 1 -  3 1/2" square dark *

* cut all 3 1/2" squares on the diagonal.

Step # 1

1. Because of the nature of these triangle pieces it is not practical to set them up in my usual manor for making
    half square triangles.  Please use the diagram below for assembly of each of the half square triangles needed for
    this block.
2.  Square up each square to 2 1/2"

3.  Follow lay out below for square placements.

Step #2

1.  Sew first the vertical rows then the horizontal rows to complete the block.

2. Square up to 8 1/2".
