How to Make a Chain Link Quilt:
Step 1
Download the pattern here, then cut the fabrics to size, and then get 1 background strip and 1 print strip. Lay them with their right sides facing, then stitch them down on each side, and cut them into triangles as shown in the video.
Step 2
Press the seams toward the darker fabric and cut off the nubs, then place a background square above one side of a print rectangle with their right sides facing, and stitch them diagonally from corner to corner.
Step 3
Trim off the excess layers, then press them open, and make a matching half-square triangle. Arrange the pieces together along with a background square into a block as demonstrated in the video, then stitch them together, and press the seams as you go.
Step 4
Make the side pieces, then continue to build the block until complete, and then make more blocks. Piece 4 blocks together to form the chain link and then finish the quilt however you want.
