Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.
Get one light and one dark fabric and place them right sides together.
Sew on the edge with a 1/4 seam allowance.
Repeat until you have 20 strip units.
All the seams must be nested for this project.
Step 2:
Sew two different double strips together, alternating the dark and light.
You will have a total of 10 strips.
Once done, press all seams to the dark side.
Step 3:
Cut 8.5 squares from your sewn strips.
You will need 48 squares in total.
Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner, and sew 1/4 from both sides of the line.
Cut directly on the line.
bring up the half-square triangles and press them flat.
Step 5:
Start assembling the rows.
Sew with 1/4 seam allowance.
Take note of the direction the points are going.
Repeat with the next rows.
Step 6:
Create 8 rows of 6 blocks.
Remember to alternate rows between left and right-facing points to create the mirage illusion.
