Instructions

Step 1:

Take your yardage and cut it into 8″ strips. Next, cut the strips into squares.

Step 2:

Cut the fusible into 8″ squares and fuse into the 8″ colored squares.

Step 3:

Fold in half. Lay the ruler on top of your fabric. Cut into a 7 1/2″ diameter circle. Fuse into the center of a 10″ background square.

Step 4:

Do a blanket stitch all the way around, then cut it into fourths.

Step 5:

Cut three-inch strips from your colored and background yardage, then sub-cut into three-inch squares. Get one colored and background square, and stack them with the background on top. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner, then sew a quarter of an inch on either side of the line. Cut directly on the line, open and iron the half-square triangles. Trim into 2 1/2″ squares.

Step 6:

Attach the half squares triangles to the corners of your quarter circle. Make sure the white goes on the white side and the purple goes on the opposite. You want a sew line that goes across two fabrics. Trim a quarter of an inch from the seam. Repeat with the other quarter circles.

Step 7:

Arrange them just like in the photo below. Sew them in rows first. Make sure you press the seams in different directions. Once done, sew them together just like a four-patch. Press it open. You need 6 across and 7 down for a total of 42 blocks.
