Easy Tilted Nine Patch Quilt Materials

• 1 roll of 2 1/2″ print strips
• 1 roll of 2 1/2″ background strips
• 1 1/4 yards of border
• 3/4 yard of binding
• 4 1/2 yards of binding

How to Make Tilted Nine Patch Quilt

Step 1:

Get one print strip open it up and cut the selvage edge. Cut four pieces of 4 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles. Repeat with other print strips. Open the remainder of three strips and sew them together. Press the seams so they go out.

Step 2:

Cut the 3-unit strip into 2 1/2″ strips.

Step 3:

Pick three pieces from the strips, then sew them into a nine patch. Press it flat.

Step 4:

Take 27 of your background strips and cut into 2 1/2″ squares, then get 9 background strips and cut into 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles.

Step 5:

Fold the 2 1/2″ squares in half diagonally to make a crease. Get one of the rectangles and place a 2 1/2″ square on one end. Sew directly on the crease line. Trim 1/4″ away from the sewn line and repeat with the other end. Repeat the process with three more rectangles to make four flying geese.

Step 6:

On the left end of four flying geese, sew a 2 1/2″ square. Press them open. Get two of the flying geese with 2 1/2″ square and sew a 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle on the other end.

Step 7:

Arrange the pieces just like in the photo below, then sew them together to make a block.
