Whichever it is, this tutorial by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company via YouTube is sure to help you! This pretty quilt is super simple and easy to make, you will be surprised to know that even beginners can make this.
Materials:
- 2 packs of 5″ squares
- 2 rolls of 1½” strips
- 1 roll of 1½” background strips
- 1 yard of fabric, for the outer border
- 3¼ yards of backing fabric
- Non-slip pineapple trim tool
- Iron, for pressing
- Needle and thread
- Sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Take 1 piece of charm square, then cut it into four 2½-inch squares, and get one white strip. Lay one 2½-inch square on top of the white strip with their side edges matching and their wrong sides facing, then sew them together, and trim off the excess on each side of the white strip. Repeat this process until all sides of the square are sewn with a white strip around, make sure to give the patchwork a nice press every now and then.

Step 2
Use the pineapple trim tool to cut the piece as the video shows, or if you don’t have this tool, you can use a normal ruler, and cut the patchwork the same way as the video shows. Get another color strip, then sew it around all sides the same way as you did earlier with the white strip, and cut accordingly. Repeat this process by alternating the color of the fabric strip you’re using until you finish the whole block. Sew your blocks together and add a border to finish your quilt.
