Cutting Instructions:
For each Nine Patch, cut:
(5) 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ squares from main fabric
(4) 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ squares from background fabric
For the Quarter Square Triangles, cut:
(4) 25 1/4″ x 25 1/4″ square from four fabrics.
Block Assembly:
For each Nine Patch, sew the 8 1/2″ squares into rows alternating the background and main fabrics. Use the quilt image above as a guide. Make three rows.
Sew the rows together into a block.
Make 5 Nine Patch blocks.
For the Quarter Square Triangle blocks, lay a 25 1/4″ square on top of another of a different color, right sides together.
Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the other.
Sew a 1/4″ from the line on each side.
Cut apart on the drawn line.
Press the Half Square Triangles
Repeat this process with the remaining two 25 1/4″ squares.
Lay the two Half Square Triangle blocks right sides together, matching the diagonal seams.
Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the other (not the same diagonal as the seam).
Sew a 1/4″ from the line on each side.
Cut apart on the drawn line.
This makes 4 Quarter Square Triangle blocks.
Quilt Assembly:
Using the diagram above, sew the blocks into rows and the rows into a quilt.
Quilt as desired.
