Instructions

Step 1:

Get the white squares and draw a diagonal line on the back of each one.

Step 2:

Place the grey squares on the bottom of the white squares with the right sides facing together. Pin it in place. Sew 1/4 inch away from the line on both sides and squares. Once done, cut directly on the lines and trim the corners. Open and press them flat. Trim the four half-square triangles to 4 1/2-inch squares if necessary.

Step 3:

Sew the blue and orange strips together into 2 rectangles with 1/4″ seam allowance. Cut each rectangle into two 4 1/2″ squares.

Step 4:

Arrange the squares in a 9-patch pattern. See the photo below for reference. Sew the squares in rows with a 1/2″ seam allowance. Press it flat. Make sure to press the top and bottom rows in different directions. After that, sew the rows together. Make sure to nest the seams.

Step 5:

Mark the center of each side of the block. Cut the block into 2 equal parts horizontally and vertically. Arrange the squares depending on the design that you want. Watch the video below for different design options. Sew with 1/4″ seam allowance.
