Yet another bed quilt! This post has been in draft since almost a month. Made this quilt last year in November. The plan was to utilize all the scraps and make a quilt out of it. I used some of the old scraps along with new cloth. Since I haven't learnt free motion quilting yet, this quilt also had to do with the stitch-in-the-ditch quilting. I took it to India and now Mom has kept it for our home there. I had bought all material from Walmart.
Some stats: (I modified the dimensions in between and did not keep track of all of them).
Desired finished size:
50" * 90"
Blocks:
8 * 17
Block size:
5.5" * 5.5" (finished)
Each block needs:
- 1, 5.5" * 5.5" piece of white/light fabric.
- 2, 3" * 3" pieces of colored fabric.
I bought these fat quarters to use for colored squares.
This is how I made a single block:
Sew the 2 small squares (placed wrong side up) on top of the big square (placed right side up) as shown in the pic on the right below. Then cut the triangle (as shown) leaving a 1/4" seam allowance.
Note that you will waste triangles with this but then those are very small and probably can be used for other purpose but this makes it a lot easier and quick to make so many of these blocks that are needed.
