How to Make an Offset Sun Quilt Block:
Step 1
Download, print, and cut out the template, then fold it along the lines and lay it out. Decide which fabric should go where, then mark each section on the template, fold the first section, and apply glue to it. Place the first fabric strip with its wrong side facing the glued side, then make sure to position it with about ¼ 14-inch seam allowance and stitch it in place. Press it nicely, then add the next strips until the entire template is covered, and trim off the excess.
Step 2
Lay the center fabric with its right side down on the interfacing, then trace the round template on top, and cut them out. Stitch around the traced shape, then cut the excess, make a small cut on the interfacing, and turn the piece right side out. Piece the side units together, then glue the circle down on the empty spot, and applique it down. Trim and square the block and you’re done!
