Instructions

Step 1:

Make half-square triangles (HST). Pair up all 5 1/2″ colored squares (Fabric B, C, and D) with the 5 1/2″ background squares (Fabric A) with right sides together. Sew around on all 4 sides of the block units, then press to set the seams.

Step 2:

Cut from corner to corner (diagonally) in both directions. Do not move them until you’ve cut in both directions to create 4 HST. Press them open towards the dark side, then trim them into 3 1/2″ squares.

Step 3:

With your HST squares and plain 3 1/2″ squares, arrange them to make 64 blocks just like in the photo below.

Step 4:

Arrange the blocks just like in the photo below to make the full quilt. You will have 8 rows of eight blocks each.
