Horsey
Continuing from the Paper Ponies post:
26. To make the tail, measure 2" x 11" of tail fabric and 2" x 4-1/2" of background fabric. Sew the pieces together along the diagonal and attach along the rear. Sew a 3-inch square diagonally at the top of the tail.
27. Create the horse mane from five pieces of 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" mane fabric. Fold the mane strip in half, and diagonally to make a triangle. (I sewed from corner to 1/8" from fold)
Measure and cut a 3-3/4" x 6" of horse fabric. Draw a diagonal line along the front of the horse fabric and line up the triangles along the line evenly. (I'm guessing within the seam allowance, so don't touch the edges- remember, the paper pieces don't show the seam allowance)
28. Place a 6-inch square of background fabric right sides together over the mane. Sew along the diagonal and press open.
29. Attach a 2-1/2" x 6" piece of background fabric over the mane. Measure and cut 5-3/4" x 10-3/4" of background fabric for the right hand upper corner. Then, join a small 1-1/2 inch piece of saddle fabric to the unit.
Looking Good. Now for the head.
30. Join a 1-1/2 inch square of hind ear fabric (Mane?) to a 1-1/2" x 2-1/2 inch piece of BACKGROUND fabric. Sew along the diagonal. Then, attach the 1-1/2 inch square of HORSE fabric along the diagonal in the opposite direction
31. Measure and cut 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" of BACKGROUND fabric, and sew to the block.
32. To make the horse face, measure and cut 4-1/4" (tall) x 4-3/4" (wide) of HORSE fabric. Mark 3-3/4 inch from the TOP left hand corner along both the top and left sides and draw a diagonal line.
Measure and cut a 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" rectangle from the forelock fabric (Mane?). Fold the forelock fabric in half vertically and fold the bottom right hand corner up along the top of the diagonal line.
33. Place a 3-3/4 inch square of background fabric on the face unit, right sides together, and draw a diagonal line through the center matching the face unit. Sew along the line and press the fabric open. Form the jaw line with a 1-inch square of background fabric.
Create the mouth from a 1 inch square of background fabric, 1-1/2" x 3" of horse fabric, and 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" of BACKGROUND fabric. Finish the block with a 4-3/4" x 12-1/4" rectangle of background fabric.
My head hurts.
26. To make the tail, measure 2" x 11" of tail fabric and 2" x 4-1/2" of background fabric. Sew the pieces together along the diagonal and attach along the rear. Sew a 3-inch square diagonally at the top of the tail.
