1 x 8-1/2” red square snowballed with 4-1/2” black squares

I am assuming you can assemble these without instructions, if you have any trouble, just let me know and I will certainly add the assembly instructions.

Your RED SQUARE snowballed with black corners will be surrounded with HST as shown in the following pictures. First sew the two side HSTs together, blacks touching. Then sew to the sides of your snowballed square.

Following the pic for the top and bottom, sew those HSTs together, then add to the top and bottom of the snowballed square.

You should have used all your black and white HSTs at this point.

Working with the red and black HSTs now, sew two together blacks touching, and add one of your longest red rectangles to make a long strip. We will be adding these with a partial seam. Working with the first one: sew it to the side of the center, only sewing down about a quarter of the way.

 

Working on the top now, sew on the top strip completely, followed by the left side and bottom. You should now be able to finish sewing down the right side we left open from above.

You should have used all your black and red HSTs at this point.

Using your black and white flying geese: sew your longest (6-1/2”, 9-1/2”, or 12-1/2”) white rectangles to each side of two of the flying geese and your middle (4-1/2”, 6-1/2” or 8-1/2”) white rectangles to each side of the other two flying geese. Add the shorter strips to the sides then the longer of the two strips to the top and bottom.

You should have nothing left over now.
