This tutorial for a 3" Finished block. (This block could be done another way... this is just how I did it.) :o
Step 1 - Cut a 5" Square http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492405&stc=1 Step 2 -Cut 5" Square into 4 triangles on the diagonal http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492406&stc=1 Step 3 - Cut 4 .75" Square. (I folded it in half both ways for center reference) http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492407&stc=1 Step 4 - Fold 4.75" Square in half - wrong sides together. This picture shows how the pieces will be laid out when sewn together. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492408&stc=1 Step 5 - Place one triangle on the back side of the folded square with raw edges together and with right sides of fabric together. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492409&stc=1 Step 6 - Place another triangle on the top side of the folded square with raw edges together and with right sides of fabric together. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492410&stc=1 Step 7 - This is how it should look before sewing it together. Sew along the short edge of the folded 4.75" square. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492411&stc=1 Step 8 - Do both sides of the 4.75" square in the same manner. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492412&stc=1 Step 9 - Open the triangles and prepare to iron them open. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492413&stc=1 Step 10 - Iron triangles so wrong sides are together. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492414&stc=1 |

Step 11 - Open folded 4.75 square http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492504&stc=1 Step 12 - Fold piece so that the 4.75" square is now folded in the opposite direction and line up the center seams and triangles http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492505&stc=1 Step 13 - Pin at center and at the ends of the 4.75" square http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492506&stc=1 Step 14 - Sew along long side of the 4.75" square (and triangles) http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492507&stc=1 Step 15 - Open block and iron http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492508&stc=1 Step 16 - Cut 2.5" center square, place into center of the 4.75 square http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492509&stc=1 Step 17 - Fold edges of 4.75" square over the edges of the 2.5" block, iron and sew http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492510&stc=1 Step 18 - Sew edges of 4.75" square http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492511&stc=1 Step 19 - Trim block down down to 3.5" http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492512&stc=1 Sew final blocks together to create a cathedral window looking quilt. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=492513&stc=1 You can trim the blocks to the 3.5" and sew them together to create to top prior to folding the windows to reduce the bulk going through your machine. |

Just thought I would share some new information with you.
After I got home, I made a test block using the tradition 10 minute block method to see what a full size window block required. Here's what I found out. First determine what you want your finished block size to be. In this case 7", you will then need 4 blocks to be 4" (or 1/2 of the 7" plus a 1/2", so that when they are sewn using the 10MB construction method, it will give you the starting 7 1/2" to finish at 7"); 1 block needs to be 7 1/2" when sewn using the 10MB construction method, it will finish at 7", and one block for the center window square at 4 1/2". I measured the finished inner square which was 5" and cut the window square a 1/2" smaller to reduce bulk. When completely finished I had an attractive block if I do say so. For a traditional 10 minute block cathedral window style my test blocks were 4) 4” blocks 1) 7.5 (7 1/2") block 1) 4.5” (4 1/2") block for the center window I am going to have to make a quilt using thing technique now; I love how quickly it went together. Here's a pdf of the 10MB Variation On-Point that I tried to upload in the tutorials as well. |
