Sometimes, the trick is in the layout, and this pattern is one of those. To make the block, you only need to snowball one corner. It is made by sewing a small square in a corner of a big square or rectangle diagonally. Even beginners can easily follow the steps. The finished quilt will surely impress everyone.

How to Make Pecking Order Quilt

Step 1:

Take one 5″ printed square. Cut it in half horizontally and vertically to get four squares. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the back of the squares. Alternatively, you can press it in half diagonally to make a crease.

Step 2:

Take one 5″ solid square and place one small square on one of the corners, right sides together. Sew directly to the line. Cut the excess, then press open. Repeat with all of your squares.

Step 3:

Arrange all your squares just like in the photo below. Sew them in rows first as it’s the easiest way. Do not sew them by block. Once the rows are done, sew them all together to make the quilt. Add a 6 1/2″ border, then add the backing.
