How to Make a Baby Quilt
Step 1:
From fabric A and B, cut 2 pieces of 10″ x width of the fabric (WOF) strips, then sub-cut into 8 pieces of 10″ x 10″ squares.
From fabric C, cut 1 piece of 12.5″ x 12.5″ square and cut 9 pieces of 4.5″ x 4.5″ square.
Step 2:
Get one 10″ square from fabric A and fabric B. Place them right sides together, then draw diagonal lines from corner to corner in both directions. Sew a 1/4″ seam on both sides of each diagonal line. Cut in half diagonally and horizontally, then along both diagonals. Set the seams and press each one open towards the dark side. You will have 8 half-square triangles. Repeat with the other squares.
Step 3:
Assemble the block. Get one 4.5″ square from fabric C and 8 half-square triangles. Arrange the blocks just like in the photo below. Your half-square triangles will create a windmill look around the center square. Repeat with the other half-square triangles.
Step 4:
Once you have all the 8 blocks, sew them together in rows of 3 by 3 with the 12.5″ fabric C square as your center square.
