Good morning all. I am gonna try to attempt to do this. I'm not good at giving instructions so please bare with me. Let me start by saying that you will need to make sure that you use the same cutting mat and rulers and or templets making this quilt or your squares won'ty be the same size.

I used 3 fabrics for this tut but you can use 4 if you choose to. It will work either way.

Here is my choices. Cut them into 2 1/2 in stripes selvage to selvage. You can make them wider if you want bigger blocks.

sew the stripes together lengthwise and press the seam

I used a 4 1/2in SQ for this. Place your templet with corners lined with the middle seam as in the pic and cut

arrange the SQ's how you want them to look for the big block. Here are 2 examples

You will have these left over. These will be used to make 2 1/2 in HST's

Here is how to make the HST's. You can use them in the quilt with sashing betewwen the blocks or save them for a future project.
