Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fabric pieces according to what is required in the pattern, then start piecing the light and dark fabric squares together, and press the seams towards the darker fabric side. Continue this process with the rest of the squares, then lay 2 sets together with their right sides facing, and sew down one side before pressing them open nicely. Now, that you are done with the small squares, grab the larger squares, then lay them together with their right sides together, and draw a diagonal line down the center from corner to corner.

Step 2
Sew on each side of the line with a ¼ inch seam allowance, then cut them right down the line, and press them open. After you’ve made all of the half-square triangles, start assembling the pieces together according to the pattern guide and as shown in the video, then sew them little by little, and sew every unit and row together until you’ve sewn a large quilt. You can now finish your quilt by adding the backing, batting, and border.
