Here are the sizes you need for the 4″ quilt along project block….
A– 4- 1″squares– SEE E
B– 4- 1 1/2″x 3 1/4″ rectangles of light and dark for HST as shown.- STITCH 16 HST per directions for the Triangle Papers.
C – 4- 1 3/8″ squares- cut in half once on the diagonal for 8 triangles
D -2- 1 7/8″ squares cut in half once on the diagonal
E– 2- 2 7/8″ square cut in half once on the diagonal. will only use one. I cut the 4 1″ squares from the other half for A.
When you are lining up the pieced TRIANGLE with the non-pieced TRIANGLE, it is more important that the right angle corner is lined up…you can fudge the long angle with the seam allowance. Follow the non-pieced triangle as true. Do not force-match up the seams.

I love you new redwork gatherings. It reminds me of items my grandmother had in her house. I have admired the postings on your 2 color quilts for several years and have always wanted to make a red/shirting quilt, but have not
made the time. Your blog is amazing and so inspiring,
I love your block and was curious to see if you would only one section from the 8″ block or really downsize the whole block. It’s so sweet and extra cute in 4″ I’ll do the same.
I love your red work fabrics! Before my mom passed away she did lots of red work stitcheries and I have not put them together for lack of a fabric I truly loved and now I have found them… so excited for these to come in!
You are absolutely amazing. I am working on your Magic of Christmas blocks and I have learned so much. Now you’re taking the blocks from others and putting your stamp on them. Resizing blocks can be a real challenge, but you’re doing it.
I have done so much Redwork in the last 25 years. Using the stem stitch most of the time—on valances, on wall hangings and quilts. My original Redwork Faux Crazy quilt is very unique and won a blue ribbon at local Guild Quilt Show
Great tip on matching up the right angle of the pieced and non-pieced triangles and treating the non-pieced as true. That is great advice for any size block. Thank you!
