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.

Cool! Seems like you're just posting the pictures and instructions but I have to ask a question.

Is there a lot of waste left over after cutting the blocks? What did you do with them?

Thanks for posting

Oh, nice!!!! I like that! How big will yours be and how many yards of each fabric do you need to do it?


:)

Ok there it is. I know it's not really good but I tried. I found this to really quick and fun to do.
You will be working on the bias once you have the SQ's made so be sure to starch, starch. After you get the 2 blocks sewn together and start to sew the Rectangles, start from the center and sew out and the seams will line up better.
Thank you all for your interest.

Once you use the scraps for the HST's there will be a little waste but not much.

I guess i forgot to say what size templet I used. It is a 4 1/2 SQ. Let me see if I can fix that.
The big blocks are 8 1/2 in, after sewn together with other blocks they will be 8in blocks. As far as how much yardage, that wil depend on what size quilt you want.

If you have any more questions you can PM me and I will do my best to answer your question or questions.

Coolllllll!!! Thank you!

Thank you. If I can do it anybody can.

Thank you for the tute!!! :D:D:D

Thank you for the tutorial, awesome,you did a great job!

Good job on the tutorial.

Great tutorial! I want to try this once I finish what I am working on.
Thanks for sharing.

Your directions are great,and I'm going to try it soon. Thank you

This is wonderful.. I noticed on your template you have white spots, do these hold your templte in place and if so what are they. I have a heck of a time making my temple not shift when Im cutting. Im trying this , it looks great....Thanks you

Yes those dots are felted dots. I got them at WM. I tried several different kinds but the felted ones I like the best. I tried the see thru ones but it didn't hold very well. Just try to place the dots so they don't block the view thru the templet too much. Infact I need to go buy some more, they were pretty inexpensive.

Thank you Im going there today....And again Love the quilt and how you made it...

Thank you!!!!

Wow, thanks for the great tute.

Neat! Thanks.

Great tut - thanks. Now a silly question.... What are HST's? How do you find the list of abreviations used on this site?

An HST is a half square triangle. Do a search on abbreviations, there should be some where.

Love your quilt and instructions. Think I will try it. Thanks, Mary

Thank you. It's at the bottom of the page under "main" which I never think of looking down. I always go up. live and learn, but thank you.

Just a little note here for those who have not seen the quilt I made using this tutorial here is the link.

This should help with a few questions anyone may have. I should have included it in the beginning. But don't be afraid to PM me for questions. I will try to answer them.

Thank you for posting your instructions! :)

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Looks quick & easy.

Thanks, that looks like a lot of fun.

thanks for sharing...and is easy also...thanks for the idea gal..happy sewing.. :thumbup:

Luv it!!! I think I'll try this for my Mom's quilt. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all you wonderful quilters. I can't wait to make another one myself but it will be a while, I got too many projects going on at the same time.

You did a very nice job on the tute. I love the block! Thanks for doing this and sharing it.

is there a problem on getting a 1/4" seam allowance on the outside edge of the square....so there is a sharp point? brown fabric. doesn't look like there is enough for the allowance and the points. (probably doesn't make any sense) but i really like this concept and want to make one.

To be honest with you I wasn't worried about the sharp points. But I bet if you played around with it you might figure it out. This quilt was basically a fun and easy to make a quilt without all the fuss that goes along with most quilts. I think it is the fact that all the points aren't there that gives it the illusion of it moving.
Do a search for 2nd update of my man's quilt and you will see what I mean.

Would love to see a completed quilt, did I miss it some-

where? Great tutorial ! Thanks.

Here is the link to the original quilt done in different fabric prints.
