Materials:
- layer cake
- fat quarter, for accent
- rotary cutter
- ruler
- cutting mat
- sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fat quarter into forty-two 2 1/2″ squares, then for the layer cakes, cut one 2 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ rectangle followed by one 7 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ rectangle. Once everything is cut, take one 2 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ rectangle and one 2 1/2″ accent square. On the wrong side of the square, draw a line from corner to corner, then place them right sides together on the right of the rectangle. Sew directly on the line, then cut a 1/4″ away from the sewn line. Press open afterwards.
Step 2
Lastly, take the 2 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ rectangle, piece them, then sew it to the bottom of the 7 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ to complete the quilt block. Repeat these steps until you have all your 42 quilt blocks. Once you have all your blocks, lay them, rotating each to 90 degrees in a 6″ x 7″ block layout. Sew the blocks together to form rows, then sew those rows together to complete the quilt top.
