Materials:

• layer cake
• rotary cutter
• rotating mat
• quilt rulers

Directions:

Step 1

To start, cut two 5″ x 10″ rectangles in every 42-count of 10″ square (layer cake). Next, using a half-rectangle ruler, use the 9″ mark and cut your half rectangle out. (Snip off the dog ears as you go.) Then, rotate the mat around and cut your second half-rectangle piece. You’ll end up with a total of two half rectangles per each 5″ x 10″ rectangle. Once you have all your rectangles cut, rotate the fabrics around to mix them up, then sew them back together again. You will end up with a 4 1/2″ x 9″ rectangle.

Step 2

Once you have all your pieces sewn, make the blocks by sewing two of these together side by side. After all your blocks are complete, start laying them up in a 6 by 7 block layout. Sew the blocks together to form rows, then sew those rows together to complete the quilt top.
