This blueberry pie quilt block by Teresa DownUnder has been on my list for the longest time, and I finally had the time last weekend to make it. It turned out so beautiful. I was so amazed at how easy and fast to make this piece, and the colors are definitely making me hungry. I had so much fun making this quilt, and I surely recommend this. You can make it too even if you are a beginner. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.

- 6 pieces of 4 1/2″ white squares
- 4 pieces of 4 1/2″ navy squares
- 2 pieces of 4 1/2″ light blue squares

Instructions:
Step 1:
Get one each of the light blue and white 4 1/2″ squares and place them right sides together. Sew around the square with 1/4″ seam allowance. Cut the square diagonally from corner to corner on both sides to make four triangles. Trim the half-square triangles into 2 1/2″ squares. Repeat with 2 more squares to make a total of 8 half-square triangles.
Step 2:
Get one 4 1/2″ white square and one 4 1/2″ navy square. Place them right sides together and sew around the square with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Cut it diagonally from corner to corner on both sides to make 4 triangles. Trim the half square triangles into 2 1/2″ squares. Repeat the process with three more sets of squares to make a total of 16 half-square triangles.
Step 3:
Arrange the squares and half-square triangles by following the arrangement below. Sew them into rows by placing them right sides together then sewing with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowances of each row flat in opposite directions. Sew the rows together with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Make 15 pieces more of this block. Arrange them with 4 blocks across and 4 down with sashing in between each piece.
