After posting the first update about the Corn and Beans block, I realized that I had not included the pictures showing how I marked the sewing lines on the block. Here is a picture showing how you place the ruler--notice that the 45 degree line is placed along the long side of the block and the edge of the ruler is placed so that it intersects the corner seam of the half-square triangle (long red arrow) and the bottom right-hand corner (smaller red arrow). Mark along the edge of the ruler.
After you have marked the first seam line, flip the block so that the unmarked half-square triangle is at the lower left. Line up the ruler in the same way, 45 degree line along the long edge of the block and the edge of the ruler touching the corner of the half-square triangle (long red arrow) and the lower right hand corner (shorter arrow) of the block. Mark this line as well. Proceed with the other steps shown on the earlier post. Sorry about the omission; the blog does not lend itself well to editing and inserting pictures once it is published.
