BLOCK INSTRUCTIONS

To fussy cut your 1 1/2" squares from Fabric A. I used clear template plastic from Dritz sewing. I measured and cut a 1 1/2" square template from the plastic which allows me to lay on my fabric and cleary center my flower in the center to the block while still maintaining my ¼” seam allowance.  

With a fabric marking pen trace seventeen 1 ½” fussy cut flowers from your fabric. Cut you pieces out with a straight edge and rotary cutter. 

Now that your have your fussy cut squares cut it’s time to sew the center of your blocks. 

Using five fussy cut flower squares and four 1 ½” squares from fabric B. Sew a nine patch block that looks like this. 

Now it’s time to sew your strips. 
Cut four 3 ½” long strips from your 1 ½” WOF strip. Sew two of these strips to the sides of your center block. 

To each end of your other two strips sew a 1 ½” fussy cut flower. 

Sew these to rows to the top and bottom of your piece. Making sure you press your seams in alternating directions so your seams will nest into place. 

Basically we will be repeating this process with your remaining strips and fussy cut squares. 

From your strip from Fabric D cut four 5 ½” strips. Sew two to the sides of your piece and to each side of your other two strips sew a 1 ½” fussy cut square. Sew these rows to the top and bottom of your piece. 

To complete your block cut four 7 ½” long strips from your remaining strip. Sew two strips to the side of your piece and then sew your remaining 1 ½” fussy cut squares to the ends of your other strips. Sew your rows to the top and bottom of your piece and your Alabama Block is complete!
