3. We will be starting by applying the Four Half Squares Triangles (HSTs) at a time technique: Take one pair of 9¾” x 9¾” squares and place the fabrics face to face.

4. Draw two lines on the diagonal and stitch at ¼” from each side of each line.

5. Cut following the red lines.

6. Open and press.

9. Take two (2) 10½” x 10½“ squares from fabrics A, B, C, and D.

10. Using the Four Half Squares Triangles (HSTs) at a time technique, pair the squares in the following way to get 4⅞” x 4⅞” HST:

11. Take sixteen (16) 4⅞” x 4⅞” squares from fabrics C and D.

12. Pair them with the 4⅞” x 4⅞” HSTs following the diagram to get 4½” x 4½” HST.

13. Make sure to draw and stitch on the diagonal that crosses both fabrics.

14. Take eight (8) 5¼” x 5¼” squares from fabrics A, E, G, and H.

15. We will be making a Half Square Triangle (HST) technique:

16. Place the squares face to face.

17. Draw a diagonal line and stitch at ¼" from each side.

18. Trim on the drawn line.

19. Open and press the resulting two HSTs.

20. Pair the squares in the following way to get 4⅞” x 4⅞” HSTs:

21. Take eight (8) 4⅞” x 4⅞” squares from fabrics G and H and pair them following the diagram with the 4⅞” x 4⅞” HSTs to get 4½” x 4½” HSTs.

22. Make sure to draw and stitch on the diagonal that crosses both fabrics.

Notes: ¼" seam allowances are included. WOF means width of fabric

Join the blocks as follows:

Notes: Sew rights sides together.

1. Place BACKING FABRIC on a large surface wrong side up. Stretch it with masking tape against that surface.

2. Place BATTING on top of backing fabric.

3. Place TOP on top of the batting with right side facing up. Smooth away wrinkles using your hands.

4. Pin all layers together and baste with basting thread, using long stitches. You can also use safety pins to join the layers.

5. Machine or hand quilt starting at the center and working towards the corners. Remember that quilting motifs are a matter of personal preference. Have fun choosing yours!

6. After you finished, trim excess of any fabric or batting, squaring the quilt to proceed to bind it. 

Notes: Sew rights sides together.

1. Cut enough strips 1½" wide by the width of the fabric C to make a final strip 330" long. Start sewing the binding strip in the middle of one of the sides of the quilt, placing the strip right side down and leaving an approximated 5" tail. Sew with ¼" seam allowance (using straight stitch), aligning the strip’s raw edge with the quilt top’s raw edge.

2. Stop stitching ¼" before the edge of the quilt (DIAGRAM B 1). Clip the threads. Remove the quilt from under the machine presser foot. Fold the strip in a motion of 45° and upward, pressing with your fingers (DIAGRAM B2). Hold this fold with your finger, bring the strip down in line with the next edge, making a horizontal fold that aligns with the top edge of the quilt (DIAGRAM B3). Start sewing at ¼" of the border, stitching all the layers. Do the same in the four corners of the quilt.

3. Stop stitching before you reach the last 5 or 6 inches. Cut the threads and remove the quilt from under the machine presser foot. Lay the loose ends of the binding flat along the quilt edge, folding the ends back on themselves where they meet. Press them together to form a crease. Using this crease as the stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding with right sides together (you can help yourself marking with a pencil if the crease is difficult to see). 

4. Trim seam to ¼" and press open. Complete the sewing. Turn binding to back of the quilt, turn raw edge inside and stitch by hand using blind stitch.
