Half Split 4 patches!
For the half split four patches, we are going to need 22 units facing in one direction, and 22 mirror imaging those, facing in the opposite direction.

Half Split 4 patches!
Remember
when I said we would need the easy angle ruler, and NOT the companion
angle ruler for this mystery?? I forgot there were half blocks
involved! So if you do have the companion angle handy, you can
use it
in this step. If you don't, never fear, I'm going to give you
regular
rotory cutting directions for the pieces. Several of you who have
done
the Carolina Crossroads Mystery will already have the companion angle
in your ruler collection. It wasn't until I sat down to do these
half
blocks that I realized they would come in handy!
For the half split four patches, we are going to need 22 units facing in one direction, and 22 mirror imaging those, facing in the opposite direction.
Cut
44
dark & scrappy "flying geese" type triangles from 2" strips with
the straight grain along the long edge of the triangle. Lay the 2" line
on the ruler along the bottom edge of the strip and cut as shown. (I
stole this pic from the my blue heaven pattern and it shows triangles
being cut from a 2.5" strip....but you get the idea!) If you
don't
have a companion angle ruler, you can cut 4.25" squares and then cut
those squares twice on the diagonal with an X to get the pieces that
you need for this step.
You will also need to cut 44 light and scrappy half square triangles from your light 2" strips using the easy angle ruler. Add to this, 44 dark and scrappy half square triangles cut from 2" strips! If you are not using the easy angle ruler, and need regular rotary sizes, cut 2 3/8" squares and slice them once on the diagonal to get pieces the size we need. These triangles are the same size as the "wing" triangles we used in step 2.
Sew the light 1/2 square triangles to the dark 1/2 square triangles as shown in picture 2 and 3 above, making sure that half of them point one way, and the other half are mirror image. Half of the units will be sewn to the right side of the flying geese triangle, and half sewn to the left side, shown in picture 3 above. Press all seams towards the darker triangles. Trim dog ears.
This is not a very big time consuming step, so hopefully it will give you a break, and give others a chance to catch up!

No peeking
forward until you have the 44 half split four patches done!
