Half-square Triangle Instructions

Cut directly on the drawn line.
-
Press the seams open.
-
Clip the "dog ears" to make a perfect square:
Piecing Directions
-
Draw a diagonal line on the back of each Fabric A square measuring 3 7/8" x 3 7/8". Match 40 of the squares together with 40 squares of the same size cut from fabric C. Draw a diagonal line on the back of each Fabric B square measuring 3 7/8" x 3 7/8". Match 20 of the squares together with 20 squares of the same size cut from fabric C.
-
Follow the directions for making half-square triangles on the previous page. You will have 120 half-square triangles when this step is completed. 80 will be with fabrics A and C, 40 will be with fabrics B and C.
-
Following the diagram, sew four squares together to form a block. All of the blocks in this quilt are made exactly this same way. Continue with the remaining squares until you have 40 completed blocks.
-
Following the diagram below, take four of the completed blocks in step 3 and sew them together in the exact order shown. This will make a larger block. There will be 10 of these larger blocks in the quilt. Continue with the remaining smaller blocks until you have 10 completed larger blocks.
Quilt Assembly
-
Sew 5 completed larger blocks together in a row. Repeat until you have 2 rows. Nowjoin the 2 completed rows together, one on top of another.
-
Sew border strips onto both sides of the quilt. Press. Now sew the remaining border strips onto both the top and the bottom of the quilt.
-
Layer the quilt back, the batting, and the quilt top together, in that order.
-
Machine or hand quilt as desired.
-
Use the 2 1/2" strips of binding fabric cut earlier to bind the quilt using your favorite method.
