Materials:

• a bunch of 5″ squares (in coordinating patterns/colors)
• rotary cutter
• sewing machine
• iron, for pressing
• ruler
• pins (optional)

Directions:

Step 1

To make the block, you will need three pieces of 5″ squares: one for the center and two to go around. Now, lay one 5″ square on top of the other, then cut them in half diagonally. Next, fold the center 5″ square in half and finger press. After this, lay one triangle along one edge, lining the point to the finger-pressed fold. Sew the edge with 1/4″ seam allowance. Repeat these steps and sew the remaining triangles to the center square, pressing as you go.

Step 2

Once done sewing, trim the block down to a 7″ square. Repeat these steps to create more square-in-square quilt blocks for your intended quilt top size.
