Block 1 Step 1

Place one triangle from fabric D and one triangle from Fabric E right sides together and pin the shortest side. Stitch along pinned seam and press seam allowance.

Step 2

Repeat again (make sure to place your fabrics in the same positions).

Step 3

Place the two pieces you have sewn right sides together making sure to match the seam in the middle so it sits neatly. Stitch and press seams. Give block a final press. Make this block 3 more times.

Block 2 Step 4

Place 2 of your rectangles from fabric B alongside 1 rectangle from Fabric C, right sides together.. Pin along the longest seams and stitch. Press seams and give block a final press. Make 3 more blocks in the same manner.

Block 3 Step 5

This block is plain so you can leave your Fabric c square as is.

Block 4 Step 6

Place one of your 13cm x 10cm triangles right sides together with your plain backing/interfacing sew around all edges using a 1cm seam allowance. Clip corners and cut a small slit in your plain fabric/interfacing [Make sure not to cut into your main fabric] Turn your small sail through this gap and repeat with your larger sail and your boat body.

Step 7

Iron each of these pieces and pin them in place on your fabric F square. Using a straight stitch secure these to your square. Keep your stitches approximately 0.5cm away from the edge. Alternatively you can appliqué these to your block by hand. Press block and make 4 more in the same manner.
