The art of quilting has been passed down through generations. It is an art form that has been around for centuries, with patterns shared around society through sad and happy times in the world’s history, and it will continue to thrive in the future. If you are just starting to learn about this therapeutic hobby or planning to turn it into a business, here’s an easy and quick tutorial by SewVeryEasy on YouTube.

Materials:
- 1 pack of pre-cut 5 inches square
- 1 pack of 2 ½ inch square
- 1 ½ yard of background fabric
- Ruler
- Rotary cutter
- Pencil
Directions:
Prepare all the materials needed, including the pattern. Cut twenty 5 inches x 2 ½ inches of the background fabric. With each background fabric, sew on two 2 ½ inch squares on each side.
Create piles out of two sewed fabrics.Segregate each pile into rows; 1st pile (1), 2nd pile (2), 3rd pile (3), 4th pile (4). Sew together each row, making two long strips on each row.
On each side of the strips, sew on 5 inches x 2 ½ inches of background fabric. Line one 5 inches x 2 ½ inches on one side of the pre-cut 5 inches squares and sew. Lay them in rows as per the first made piles. Mix and match the fabrics and arrange them to your liking.
Lay the first made pile rows alternatively on the 5 inch fabric rows. Measure and cut a triangle out of the batting fabric to match the edges of the whole quilt to form a big quilt square. Sew all the rows together.
To make the margin edges of the quilt, cut another triangle of the background fabric and stitch it on the corners. Trim the edges of the fabric and sew on the borders, or trim and add big triangle borders.
