Seminole Patchwork, Part 3

If you have been reading my posts for the past week, this is the third in the series.  There will be one more instructional post and then another with directions for putting all the strips together in a sampler.

This is the pattern for today.
1.  Cut 2 strips of gray and 2 strips of white, each 1 1/4 inches wide.
2.  Sew together as shown below.
3.  Press the seams in one direction.
4.  Cut the sewn strip into 1 1/4 inch segments.
Now sew them together as shown to create the "checker board".

Do this in two sections, which is what you'll need for the sampler.  You can make this as wide as you want, but always use an even number of strips.

Check back on Tuesday for the next lesson.
