And it may look complex, but it’s actually a beginner-friendly pattern. Try this today and see for yourself. Watch the video tutorial below to learn the step by step instructions. Thanks to Cut and Create for this lovely quilting tutorial.

Materials:

Two sets of fabric in different colors:

• 1 – 2″ x 9″ strip of fabric
• 2 – 3 1/2″ squares
• 4 – 4″ squares

Directions:

Step 1

Grab the two strips and sew them together on long edges, then press open. After this, cut out eight 2″ strips. Once done, make two sets of four-patch. Moving on to the 4″ blocks, line them in pairs, right sides together, then draw a line from corner to corner. After this, sew a 1/4″ seam from either side of that line, then cut it. Press them open afterward, then trim them to 3 1/2″ squares. Do these to four sets, making eight half-square triangles.
