Cut Glass Dish Quilt Block Pattern

The Cut Glass Dish is made up entirely of half-square triangle units and strip-pieced four patch units. The block has lots of patches, but it isn't difficult at all. Do be sure to cut fabric edges along the straight-grain and sew units together with a scant quarter-inch seam allowance to keep from "losing" width. Press carefully and your block will measure 12-1/2" square when complete, just as it should.
