How to Make Four Seasons Quilt
Step 1:
Get one print and one background square. Place them right sides together, then sew a 1/4″ seam on all four sides.
Step 2:
Cut them diagonally from corner to corner in both directions so you’ll get 4 pieces of half-square triangles. Open each half-square triangle and press them open.
Step 3:
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all 5″ print squares.
Step 4:
Arrange the half-square triangles just like in the photo below, then sew them together with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Sew them in rows first and press them open. Once you are done with the rows, sew them together to make the block. Repeat with the remaining half-square triangles.
