= = = = = = = Secret Scrappy Stitch Along = = = = = = =

Are you ready to get started? If you missed the stitch along
details you can catch up on them here. Steps one and two require 
a larger fabric amount than the later steps that are really scrappy. 
The fabric quantities I am giving are for the colors I used.
Be sure to let your creativity guide your fabric selections. 

 For the first step you will need the following quantities of fabric. 
1/8 yard green print
1/4 yard tan print
1/4 yard dark brown print
Small scraps of blue and cream prints

= = = = = = = Center Medallion Cutting = = = = = = =
From green print, cut: 2 squares, 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"

From light print, cut: 2 squares, 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"
From blue print, cut: 2 squares, 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" cut diagonally once

= = = = = = = Making the Block = = = = = = =

1. Using 2-3/4" green and light print squares make half-square-triangles
using the technique outlined here. Trim triangles to 2-1/4" square.

2. Make One Broken Dish block. Layout half-square-triangles in two rows.
Sew the units in each row together. Join the rows to make a Broken Dish
block that measures, 4" square, including seam allowances. 

3. Add blue triangles to each side of the Broken Dish block,
to make a Center Medallion block that measures, 5-1/2"
square, including seam allowances. 

= = = = = = = Broken Dish Block Cutting = = = = = = =
From dark brown print, cut: 24 squares, 2-1/4" x 2-1/4"
From tan print, cut: 24 squares, 2-1/4" x 2-1/4"

= = = = = = = Making the Block = = = = = = =
1. Using the same technique outlined above, make 48 

half-square-triangles, trim to 1-3/4" square.

2. Make 12 Broken Dish blocks that measure, 

3" square, including seam allowances.

Using the photo and diagram layout and piece the Center Medallion. 

Cut the following borders and add to Center Medallion.

From green print, cut: 
2 strips, 1-3/4" x 10-1/2"
2 strips, 1-3/4" x 13"

Center Medallion should measure 13" square, including seam allowance.
