Picket Fence Unit

December, 2013


Needed: 2 - light 5” squares and 2-dark 5” squares also 4- light 2½” squares and 4-dark 2½” squares. Mark a diagonal line on each of the 8 small squares. Place a light 2½” square on the two upper corners of a dark 5” square. Sew across the diagonal marks. Press the resulting corners open. Cut away the underneath corners. Cut each 5” square in half so that the resulting 2½” x 5” units become a right and a left picket fence unit. Repeat the process using dark 2½” squares on light 5” squares. Bring 4 light corners on dark and 4 dark corners on light.  Whoever wins this month will have a bunch!
