Several members have asked for directions for this quilt. Its SO EASY! My blocks finished at 5 inches in order to use of the typical scrap I had, but you can make this bigger by starting with bigger squares and longer strips.
1. Start with a 5 inch square. cut it in half, on the diagonal. 2. Cut strips, 1.5 inches wide by 8.5 long. 3. Mark the mid points on both of the long edges of each strip and at the mid point of the diagonal cut you made on step 1. 4. Sew the strip to the triangles formed in step 1, matching mid points. 5. Press both seams in the same direction. (Helps in joining the seams later. 6. Trim to a 5 inch square 7. Make More!!!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I made 2 similar to this, but with black diagonal strips and 7 in. triangles.
quiltingboard.com/t-127850-1.htm I think your method is more accurate than mine. I'll need to make another one for my youngest grandson, so I'm bookmarking your tutorial. |

Have been going through a rough patch and want to try to quilt my feelings since I can't seem to describe them. This just might help me do so with colors.
Thanks so much |

Very nice! The yellow seems to give the whole quilt richness and the black seems to intensify all the colors. Very nice!

You know, I need to know something. How does anyone get any sewing done here ? I am so busy, reading the daily news letter here and then copying patterns or book marking everything I am going to do. My list gets longer, looonger, loooonger and my pile of patterns and ideas is so high, it will take a week to get thru to decide what I am going to do and then its a new day and it starts all over again!!!! I have not sewn in over 3 weeks and it gets worse every day, as I see what you are doing and I am idle. HELP!!!! stop and let me catch up a little.
