Most of the 6 1/2 centers for Martha are finished or in the works. The outside ring of Martha is cut with the Companion Angle and the Scrapmaster rulers. The larger background angle is cut with the Companion at the 3 1/2" mark. The stars that are formed by sewing the long side of the smaller triangle to the larger triangle are cut from the Scrapmaster at 3 7/8". You will need four larger triangles and 8 smaller triangles. Alice has the preliminaries for the Crown. For those who are also working on the Crown, this is the recap. I am making mine out of 2 colors, the book has three. The four corner 4 patches are made from 2 2 1/2" strips sewn together with a quarter of an inch (1 background strip and another fabric--you will need two sets if using 3 colors each using the background fabric). The triangles are made from 4 4 1/2" squares, sew all the way around one background fabric and the triangle fabric that will form part of the crown (right sides together). We will finish these tomorrow. The Crown block is a 9 patch, so each part of the nine sections of 4 patches and 4 triangles has to be 4 1/2" to compete a 12 1/2" block (the 9 comes with the 4 1/2 square in the center). Try and get as much done as possible, so we can get these two blocks in a pile waiting for the end result.
