2 Attachment(s)
Just finished this one for charity. My first chevron pattern quilt. Simple and easy, my kind of quilt!! Did a little piecing on the back with scraps.

Beautiful quilt!
What pattern did you
Did you use a special ruler or is this HSTs?
Thanks.

Tapper, no special ruler. I started with 9" squares of each fabric, cut from 9"WOF strips. This was a large lap size (48" x 64" approx) so I used six 9" squares for each color row. Match up 3 squares with the bottom row color and 3 squares with the top row color. Sew diagonal seam and after cutting, Each 3 square pairs will yield 6 HST blocks for each row. The HST blocks finish out at approx 7 3/4" each. Hope that is clear. Easy to just add more HST blocks if you want it bigger.
