How to Make Winter Solstice Quilt:
Step 1
Cut the fabrics to size, then take 1 print strip and 1 background strip, and line them up together with their right sides facing. Stitch all the way down both long sides with ¼ inch seam allowance, then do the same with other combinations as instructed in the pattern, and sub-cut them into triangles.
Step 2
Press the seams of the half-square triangles to the darker fabric, then cut off the excess, and arrange 2 half-square triangles and 1 background square into a block. Stitch them per row and then the rows to each other, then press the seams as you do, and do the rest of the block units.
Step 3
Place color strip 1 on the top and side, then add color strip 2 on the top and side of the previous strips and put a background square on the outer end of each strip. Stitch the corners first diagonally, then trim off the excess, and press it open.
Step 4
Rearrange the pieces, then start stitching them to the center block one at a time, and repeat the steps with the remaining pieces. Assemble the block units together, then finish the remaining pieces to fill in the spaces on the sides, and finish the quilt as demonstrated in the video.
