Instructions

Step 1:

Get four 5″ squares and put them together to make a four patch. Make sure you have different colors. Sew them in rows first with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Once done, press them in opposite directions and sew the rows together. Press the block flat.

Step 2:

Cut the four patch diagonally from corner to corner.

Step 3:

Cut 1 1/2 strips from your background fabric. Then cut 14-inch strips out of each strip.

Step 4:

Get one strip, fold it in half, and finger-press it to make a center line. Place it in the center of the triangle. Make sure they are lined up. Sew a 1/4″ seam allowance to the side. Make sure that your strip does extend beyond your block, then finger press it.

Step 5:

Take another triangle, then line it up to the same crease. Sew with a 1/4″ seam allowance, then press it flat. Flip it over and press the seams out from the center.

Step 6:

Fold it in half into a triangle, line your ruler to the edge of the block, and cut the excess on both sides.

Step 7:

You need 7  rows with 6 blocks each for a total of 42 blocks. When you assemble them, make sure they form a lattice. Sew them in rows first and press them flat. Once done, sew the rows together to make the quilt. After that, add the 1/2-inch inner border, and then your 6-inch outer border.
