November 1999’s block was a Sawtooth.

The finished block measures 12 inches square (12 ¹/₂ inches unfinished).

1. Cut one 4 ¹/₂ inch square from a white-on-white fabric.
2. Cut eight 2 ¹/₂ inch squares from a white-on-white fabric.
3. Cut eight 2 ¹/₂ inch squares from a dark holiday green fabric.

4. Cut two 4 ⁷/₈ inch squares from the dark holiday green fabric, then cut on the diagonal to form four triangles.
5. Cut two 4 ⁷/₈ inch squares from a deep holiday red fabric, then cut on the diagonal to form four triangles.
6. Cut four 4 ¹/₂ inch squares from the deep holiday red fabric.
7. Sew two of the green 2 ¹/₂ inch squares to the top corners of each red 4 ¹/₂ inch square, placing them in the upper corners and sewing diagonally across the square.  Trim ¹/₄ inch from the seam and press open.
8. Sew two of the white-on-white 2 ¹/₂ inch squares to the bottom corners of each red 4 ¹/₂ inch square, placing them in the upper corners and sewing diagonally across the square.  Trim ¹/₄ inch from the seam and press open.
9. Sew together the red and green triangles to make 4 ¹/₂ inch squares.

10. Assemble the block as pictured; you will have nine squares that will go together like a nine-patch block.

Your finished (unfinished) block should measure twelve and one-half inches.  Be sure to leave the seam allowance on the block, DO NOT cut it to the 12 inch finished size -- as the “finished” measurement represents the block size after it is sewn into a quilt top.
