Step 1 Center Row
Helpful Hints:
·
Make half square triangles that are 3 ½’’ (will
be 3’’ once sewn into the quilt)
·
Cut the same number of triangles from background
fabric as from the scrap fabrics or use all scraps and have a really colorful
center row! Or simply use 2 colors or 2 fabrics for a nice calm center row.
·
If you are using your background fabric for
sashing, cut your sashing strips first. Cut 6 strips 3 ½’’ wide by length of
quilt, and for king size you will also need 2 strips 9 ½’’ wide by 96’’.
128 half square triangle units.
·
You may sew the sashing rows to the finished
rows as we go, or you may wait until the end and audition different setting
options.
Using the following (or your favorite) method make the half
square triangles:
Throw- 96
half square triangle units
Twin- 128 half
square triangle units
Queen- 128
half square triangle units
King- 128
half square triangle units
I use the
strip method for making triangles.
Cut strips 3
½’’.
Layer the
background and color strips right sides together.
Using a
triangle ruler such as Easy Angle or BH Triangle tool, cut triangles.
Rotate the
ruler to cut additional triangles.
Sew along
the long edge of the triangles.
Press the
seams toward the darker fabric.
No trimming
should be needed.
Clip off the
one small point of seam allowance at the corner.
Arrange the
half square triangles as shown (pinwheel style) and sew them into rows of 4
each.
Sew the rows
together. Press all of the seams one direction (or open if you prefer).
Row one is
complete!
