Just out of curiosity, how many of you are caught up?
cut one square 7 1/4" from the background fabric
cut in half on the diagonal twice, to make 4 quarter square triangles
cut one square 6.5" from the background fabric
cut 4 squares 3 1/2" from the background fabric
cut 2 squares 4 1/4" from a dark print
cut each square in half, twice, on the diagonal, to make a total of 8 quarter square triangles
cut 2 squares 4 1/4" from a medium print fabric
cut each square in half, twice, on the diagonal, to make a total of 8 quarter square triangles
layout as shown
if you are using a striped fabric, as I did here, make sure to place the stripes carefully so they all go the same direction.
sew together
and square up the block to 12.5".
Isn't it pretty? I really like this block. And fairly simple after the star in week 5.
Any questions, I'll attempt to answer them in the comments.
Also, there is a nifty tip here, on how to center your triangles for a square in a square block, thanks to the bear creek quilter. (Especially helpful for the block from week 5.)
