Quilt Block
Grandmother's Pride
Beginners Guide to how I Rotary Cut
To make this block you need two different fabrics a dark (feature) fabric and a light (background) fabric.
From the dark (feature) fabric cut:
9 x Two and seven eighth inch squares.
From the light (background) fabric cut:
4 x Two and seven eighth inch squares.
4 x Three and a quarter inch squares -
Cut these squares in half on the diagonal (corner to corner) this gives you 8 triangles. These go around the outer edge of the blog.
And
2 x Two and a quarter inch squares -
Cut these in half on the diagonal (corner to corner) this gives you 4 smaller triangles which form the corners of the block.
Use quarter inch seams throughout.
How I use my Quarter Inch Foot
Lay the squares and triangles out next to your sewing machine.
You need to stitch them together in diagonal rows ( see pics above and below) nice slippers!
Stitch the rows together
And you'll end up with this.
Quite a neat little Block don't you think?
And you can use it in so many ways.
You could simply add a border and it could become
A cushion front
A Table Mat
A Bag Front

Repeated with Sashing to make a little Quilt
