Materials:

fabric A:

• 1 – 6″ square

fabric B:

• 1 – 6″ square
• 2 – 3 1/2″ squares

fabric C:

• 2 – 3 1/2″ squares
• 4 – 3″ squares

Directions:

Step 1

To start, cut all your fabric requirements and set them aside. Next, grab the two 6″ squares and make two half-square triangles. Draw a line diagonally on one 6″ square, line the two fabrics, pin them, and then sew a 1/4″ seam on both sides of the line. After sewing, cut the square directly into the center line. Press them open, then trim them down.

Step 2

Moving on to the second part, grab the 3 1/2″ squares and make them into half-square triangles too. Line up the solid-colored square, 1/4″ seam away from the center diagonally on both sides. Pin them down, then sew directly on the lines. Press them afterward, then trim them down to 3″ half-square triangles.

Step 3

Now, start laying down your block (refer to the image below for the placement of the pieces). Once done, sew them down like a four-patch. Finally, stitch the two half-square triangles together with your four-patch to complete the betty quilt block. Press it nicely and make as many as you need to create your desired quilt size.
