The Prarie Queen block is made of
half square triangles and 4 patches.
It looks like it's complicated to make
but when we break it down to
individual units it is quite easy.
Fabric Requirements:
Fabric A: Green
1 - 2 1/2" x 22" strip
Fabric B: Red
1 - 4 1/2" square
Fabric C: Rust
2 - 5 1/4" squares
Fabric D: Gold
1 - 2 1/2" x 22" strip
Fabric E: White
2 - 5 1/4" squares - Mark
a diagonal line on back.
With right sides together, sew strip A to strip D.
Press to the dark fabric. Cut strips into 8 - 2 1/2" pieces.
Place 2 units cut from the strips as shown
and sew together to make 4 ~ 4-patch units.
Square to 4 1/2".
Make Half Square Triangles:
Take Fabric C and Fabric E squares and
place right sides together. Sew 1/4" away
from each side of drawn line, cut on line
and press to the dark. Square to 4 1/2".
