Assemble the Patchwork Tulip Units

  1. Arrange a print 2-1/2" square, two half square triangle units and the pieced bud unit as shown in the illustration above. Make sure the tips of the pink triangles point towards each other and that the blue square is nestled into the "V" of the pink triangles.

  2. Sew the top row together and press the seam allowance towards the blue square.

  3. Sew the bottom row together and press the seam allowance towards the printed pink square.

  4. Sew the rows together, matching seams carefully. Press the seam allowance towards the bottom row (pink square / triangle square combo).

  5. Repeat to make a total of sixteen tulip units.
