Sky – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (Three)
Sky – 2″ x 1 1/2″ (Two)
Roof – 2 1/2 x 2″ (Two)

Sew Roof piece (2 1/2″ x 2″) to Sky piece (2″ x 1 1/2″)

Sew Sky row together following pattern

Strip 2 – Roof

Pieces

– all 4″ pieces of Sky, Roof and School house
– Roof 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

Using 4″ squares

Draw a line from corner to corner

Making HST (Half Square triangles)

Method A
- Cut each of the 4″ squares in half (Diagonally along line)
- Then sew triangles …
  - Sky to Roof
  - Roof to School house
  - School house to Sky

Method B
- Sew pieces together
  - Place Sky (Blue) to Roof (Black) piece, and sew down 1/4″ from center on one side (I drew the ¼” seams on both sides of center line.)

Open up the piece – Make sure you have the side that is stitched to your left, and the roof on the right side.

Place the School house (pink) piece on the the unsewn side of the Roof (black) – Three of the corners should match, and you should see the Sky piece out the fourth corner.

Sew 1/4″ seam on the side towards the roof piece (see back side, not only one side will you sew.

Open up. Match the Sky (blue) piece to the School house (pink), sew 1/4″ seam on the unsewn side.

Note picture below shows both sides sew, the left was stitched to the Roof and right was stitched to the Sky.

After you have sewn the three pieces together, with only three stitch lines, you will have a three sided piece.

Next carefully using your scissors, placed inside the center, cut down the center of the seams, cutting only one layer of fabric at a time. (picture shows one seam cut).

After carefully cutting, you will have three HST.

Now that you have three HST cut, make sure to square-up each HST to be 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ using method you prefer. (You can check our our January 2019 BOM for methods to square-up HST.)
