How to Make a Sweet Violet Quilt Block:
Step 1
Cut the fabrics to size as instructed in the video, then get the large white square, and place a purple square on each corner with their right sides facing. Line the purple square diagonally from corner to corner, then stitch them along the drawn line, and trim off the excess layers.
Step 2
Press the corners open, then add the purple rectangles to the side and top, and press nicely. Get a small white square, then place it on the purple corner with their right sides facing, and stitch the square diagonally from corner to corner. Trim off the excess and press the block unit nicely, then make 3 more identical pieces, and set them aside.
Step 3
Get the white strip and fold it in half, pinch the center to mark the midpoint, then line up the blue strip slanted as demonstrated in the video, and stitch them in place. Trim off the excess layers, then repeat 4 more times to complete the sashing piece, and start arranging everything. Stitch them per row, then the rows to each other, and press as you go.
