Perfect for beginners, you’ll surely love this quilt pattern and will make your favorite list. Learn how to make it by watching the video tutorial below for the step by step instructions.
Subcut the background fabric to eighty 2 1/2″ squares and eighty 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. For each jelly roll strip, subcut to two 2 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangles, four 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles, and two 2 1/2″ squares. Repeat these steps for all 42-count jelly rolls. After this, select one 2 1/2″ square, one 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ background fabric, and within the same print, select one 2 1/2″ square, two 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles, and one 2 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangles. With both your print and background 2 1/2″ squares, draw a line from corner to corner. Then with your print 2 1/2″ square, place it right sides together on the background 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle. Lastly, with the background 2 1/2″ square, Place it right sides together on the print 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle.
Sew directly on the line you drew, then trim a 1/4″ away from that line you just sewn. With those two units you just created, sew them together, then build the block like a log cabin by adding the same print in a 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle to the right side of the new unit, followed by the print 2 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangle to the top of the unit to complete a 6 1/2″ quilt block. Repeat these steps until you have a total of eighty quilt blocks. Once you have all the mini quilt blocks, arrange these into a four-patch, rotating your blocks 90 degrees to form a pinwheel. Once you have all the four-patch blocks, lay them in a 4 x 5 layout, then sew them to form rows, and sew those rows together to complete the quilt block.
