Christmas in July Block 8-Sasikirana

Stack of Presents Block by Amanda Sasikirana
Finished size: 11" square

What's more fun at Christmas than a stack of presents tied with a sweet ribbon? I choose to make my presents in two fabrics, but feel free to make yours in three different ones!

Cutting directions:
Fabric A (present #1) 4 2.5" x 2.5" squares
Fabric B (present #2) 4 2" x 2.5" rectangles 4 2" x 4" rectangle
Fabric C (present #3) 4 2" x 4" rectangles 4 2" x 5.5" rectangles
Fabric D (ribbon) 2 1.5" x 5.5" rectangles 1 1.5" x 11.5" rectangle

Sewing directions: Make 4 identical units for the corners of the block.

For each unit, take 1 2.5" x 2.5" fabric A square and 1 2" x 2.5" fabric B rectangle. Sew with right sides together and press.

Take 1 2" x 4" fabric B rectangle and sew on the long side with right sides together. Press.

Take 1 2" x 4" fabric C rectangle and sew on the long side with right sides together. Press. Take 1 2" x 5.5" fabric C rectangle and sew on the long side with right sides together. Press. Repeat with the remaining fabric A, B, and C pieces to make 4 corner units.

Sew the corner units together using fabric D rectangles as pictured.
