Directions:
Step 1
Draw a diagonal line on each background square fabric going from corner to corner, then lay each of the background squares on top of printed squares with their right sides facing, and sew ¼-inch away from each side of the drawn diagonal line. Cut along the line to make 2 fabric pieces, then open them up making sure that the seam is facing toward the darker fabric, and press flatly.

Step 2
Trim off the dog ears or the excess fabric poking out of each corner, then proceed to make half-square triangles with the rest of the fabric pieces until you have about 80 units. Once done, lay out the blocks and assemble them as shown in the video, then sew them together into rows making sure to alternate the direction that seam allowances are pressed for each row, and then stitch the rows together. Finish the project by quilting however you want, then add the backing and binding as well, and you’re done!
