We can all agree that quilting is such a fun activity, and if you’re like me, then you must also be looking out for new projects to try almost every week even if you haven’t finished the previous one yet. Recently, I found this video tutorial by Missouri Star on YouTube wherein you can learn how to make a beautiful sea glass quilt easily and it was such a fun project, too! You should definitely check this quilt out and see for yourself.
Materials:
- 10-inch print squares
- 1½ yards of fabric, for the inner border and sashing
- 1 yard of fabric, for the outer fabric
- ¾ yard of binding fabric
- 4 yards of backing fabric
- Marking pen, pencil, or chalk
- Ruler
- Scissors or rotary cutter and a cutting mat
- Iron, for pressing
- Sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Get 2 contrasting squares, then stack them together with their right sides facing, and then at the wrong side of the fabric at the top, draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. Sew on both sides of the line with a ¼ inch seam allowance, then cut along the line, and press them open.
Step 2
Square the block to 8½ inches, then repeat the same steps with the rest, and then cut the 1-inch sashing strips to the same size as the block as shown in the video and cut the piece for the center as well.

Step 3
Start sewing them together making sure to press every now and then, and continue to piece the rest of the blocks and sashing using the same steps. Now, cut the 2-inch sashing strips to size as well as the piece for the center, then combine them with the large block, and then add the border. Finish your quilt however you want.
