How to Make a Coffee Cup Quilt Block:

Step 1

Download and print the pattern, then cut the fabrics according to the instructed measurements. Get the pieces for the saucer of the mug, then draw a diagonal line on the white 2-inch squares, and stitch them on each side of the dark strip making sure that one end of the line at meeting at the center. Cut off the excess at ¼ inch from the stitching line and then set it aside.

Step 2

For the handle, sew a white strip on each side of the print fabric, then press the seams toward the darker fabric, and sub-cut them into 4 pieces. Take the small strips, then sew them in pairs, and stitch them to the previous set you’ve sub-cut. Sew a white strip to the top edge of the mug handle, then sew a bigger white piece to the bottom, and press them nicely.

Step 3

Get the saucer piece and sew the contrasting strip at the bottom edge, then sew the large square or cup piece to the mug handle, and sew a white piece to the opposite side. Piece the mug and saucer together, then give the block a good press, and you’re done.
