Instructions
ASSEMBLY
- This mini quilt is made using half square triangles.
- To begin the quilt, draw a diagonal line, corner to corner, on the wrong side of each piece A and C.
- Pin 6 pieces A to 6 pieces B with right sides together and the drawn line on A facing up. Stitch 1/4” from each side of the drawn line on A. Cut along the line.
- Press each square open with the seam toward the darker fabric. The squares should measure about 4 3/4” at this point. Trim each to 4 1/2 x 4 1/2”.
- Repeat the process by matching the remaining 3 pieces A with 3 of the D pieces. The drawn line on A should be facing up. Match up 3 pieces C with the remaining 3 D pieces. Stitch and trim in the same manner.
- Sew and trim the remaining 6 pieces C to the 6 pieces B.
- Lay out the squares to match the diagram.
- Sew the squares together in horizontal rows. Alternate the direction the seams are pressed in each row to help them nest together in the next steps.
- Stitch the rows together, matching the seams.
- Trim the quilt top to square.
- Lay the backing fabric out, right side down. Top with the cotton batting. Center the quilt top overall, right side up. Pin well.
- Quilt as desired. Trim the backing and batting to square up and match the top.
- Finish the edge with binding.
