Tuesday I am teaching block 1 and 6 from the Civil War Sampler by Barbara Brackman. We will be making half square triangles for the blocks this month. The blocks can be made 8" or 12". The book uses letters to designate what size pieces to cut for all the blocks in the book. Decide what size block you want to make and use those measurements.

For an 8" block

A  2 1/2 X 2 1/2

B 2 7/8 X 2 7/8 these are used to make half square triangles and can be cut 3 X 3 and squared up after sewing 

For a 12" block

A 3 1/2 X 3 1/2

B 3 7/8 X 3 7/8 these are used to make half square triangle and can be cut 4 X 4 and squared up after sewing
