Scrap Quilt 2015-2016: Block #1



Cutting Instructions

White fabric
  • 8 - 2" squares
  • 4 - 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
Color fabric
  • 8 - 2" squares
  • 4 - 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
  • 4 - 2 7/8" squares
Assembly


*Note: Always press to the color fabric unless otherwise noted.

**Note: Half squares triangles (HST) allow plenty of room for trimming. To make HSTs with some trimming space, reduce square size by 1/4". To make HSTs without trimming space, reduce square size by 1/2". 

Step 1: Make the corner squares. Referring to the next 4 photos, sew together the all of the 2" squares. Make a total of 4 corner squares.









Step 2: Make the rectangle squares. Referring to the next 4 photos, sew together the 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles. Make a total of 4 squares.




Step 3: Make the half square triangles (HST). Lay one 2 7/8" square on another 2 7/8" square right sides together. Mark a diagonal line along the squares, then sew 1/4" away from both sides of the line.



Cut along the line. Press open and trim to measure 2" square.



Repeat with the remaining pair of 2 7/8" squares to make a total of 4 HSTs.


Step 4: Referring to the next 3 photos, sew together the HSTs to make the center pinwheel.




Step 5: Assemble the block. Press to the corner squares and center pinwheel.
