Quilting Directions
Cutting Requirements
-
Follow the chart below for cutting requirements:
Making the Half Square Triangle Blocks
Note: This method makes two matching HSTs. The cutting requirements list the number of sets that should be made.
-
Draw a diagonal line across the back of one of the 5” squares.
-
Place on top of another 5” square matching colors according to the diagram.
-
Stitch using a scant ¼” seam with the ¼” seam foot along either side of the diagonal line and cut apart on the marked line.
-
Press squares open and trim to 4 ½” x 4 ½”.
Piecing the Quilt
-
Lay out the blocks as shown in the diagram. Pin or glue and sew blocks into rows. Press seams as outlined in the diagram.
-
Sew the rows together, nesting seams to form the quilt top.
-
Baste the top, batting and backing together to form a quilt sandwich.
-
Quilt as desired. I used The Accufeed Ditch Quilting foot set at a stitch width of 0.0 and a stitch length of 2.8 to quilt lines along each side of the seamline.
