Sew on the other dark to the med.

Sew a section on two opposite sides
Match up the seams and lay your ruler on it to check to make sure your seams are all straight. it is easier to fix something now than later. Refer to the troubleshooting I posted on the first block above if you need to fix a seam.
Trim all the sides to 1 1/4" from the seam.

Now you need 4 swatches for the tip of the corner. Cut them about 2" by 3"
Sew a swatch onto each corner
Lay your ruler on the block so the line on the ruler is laying on the edges of the dk in the corners
Trim along the edge. Repeat on both opposite edges and then the other two edges. Check to see if your block is square as you cut.

This is just something that struck me funny as I cut this.
This cut makes it look like a fish to me or a Christmas Tree if you turn it upright!! LOL
Bet you never thought a DJ would make a good Christmas tree all by itself!

I like to check against the printed block to make sure I am getting the size right. Lay the block on the paper version and fold back the edge to make sure the point of the corner matches the point on the paper version.
You can do this with any of the steps.
