      instructions on page 20

      Basic Instructions for ‘10-Minute’ Blocks

      MAKING THE BLOCKS:

      1. For each block, choose

      4 corner squares

      and

      1 center square.

      REFER TO

      the Block Construction diagrams (illustration 1).

      2. Fold a center square ‘C’ in half, wrong sides together. (illustration 2).

      3. Align the raw edges of the folded square ‘C’ with the bottom and left edges of the upper right corner square.

      (illustration 3).

      FOLLOW STEPS

      and illustrations 4 - 14 to complete the block.

      Repeat for more blocks.

      Each large block (that uses 10 × 10 squares)

      will measure 19½ × 19½ at this point.

      Each small block (that uses 5 × 5 squares)

      will measure 9½ × 9½ at this point.

      When 10" squares are used to make

      half-square triangle corner squares, the block will measure 18½ × 18½ at this point.
