Chevron quilt for my son...
It's a surprise so don't tell him! The back is a flannel sheet that I bought on sale at Sears about three years ago. Quilting is edge to edge. Enjoy
How I made it:
1. It uses only two fabrics, a white and a stripe red, white, blue.
2. I cut 9 7/8th strips of each.
3. Take one strip of white, one of the r, w, b.***
a) Place them length wise good side to good side
b) Sew a 1/4 inch seam along the length of both the top and the bottom of the strip lengths. This basically creates a long tube.
***One of my friends at guild said, "You can do that?" to step 3, which is why I am posting this.
4. Cut the tube at 9-7/8th intervals. When you are done, you will have 9-7/8th square with two sides already sewn. Sew a 1/4 inch seam on the remaining two sides.
5. Now carefully cut the square twice - diagonally from corner to corner. You now have 1/4 square triangles, ready to use.
