Adding Angles to Blocks

Adding Angles to Blocks

When a pattern shows these angles, 


we use squares, place them right sides together on the square 


and mark the sewing line,







 sew, trim and press.




 Adding rectangles is a little more difficult but here goes.   Mark the edge of the seam allowance on the block and the rectangle.



 Line up the two pieces, sew and press.
