NORTHERN WILDERNESS

• From the background fabric, cut a strip

6-1/2” wide.

• If you don’t have a long enough and

wide enough, you can abut a longer

ruler with a shorter to get the width.

• Or line up the cut edge of fabric

with a line on the mat, line up the

½” mark of the ruler with the line

six inches away both at the

bottom of the mat …

• … and at the top of the mat.

• Cut two 6-1/2” squares from the

background strip. (While only

two squares are needed for the

block, the rest of the strip may as

well be cut as they will be used

for the border).

• From the purple fabric cut two 6-1/2”

squares.

• On the wrong side of the

background squares, mark

• a diagonal line.

• Alternate method of making the

half square triangles would be to

cut 6” strips and cut half square

triangles with the Easy Angle

ruler.

• Match the background squares

with the purple squares, right

sides together.

• Stitch ¼” away from the line on

both sides.

• Cut the squares apart on the

drawn line.

• Press the seam toward the

purple triangle.

• The square should measure 6”.

If it doesn’t trim it to 6”.

• The four squares need to be laid

out in mirror image pairs.

• Cut the squares into 1-1/2” strips. I

like to cut down from larger

segments. From each 6” square cut

at 4-1/2”, 3” and 1-1/2”.

• Switch each mirror image slice

working from the outside.

• Then the next strip…

• …and the next

• and the center strip.

• Stitch the strips together.

• Finger press the seams in one

mountain unit to the right and the

other to the left

• Stitch the two mountain

units together. Press

toward the top block.

• Back view of the block.

• Remember to check the

directions for the cutting size for

the block borders. The side

borders are longer on this block

than on any of the others.

• Follow the directions for the

applique.
