Fractured Composition Quilt

This quilt/project finishes at 64″ x 64″.

1 Compositions Layer Cake®
3 yards background fabric {Saturday Morning Husk 301503 12}
4 yards backing fabric {Grunge Basics Grey Couture 30150 163}
1 yards binding fabric {Compositions Charcoal 30453 26}

The Cutting-

From the background cut 32 10″ squares.
From the Layer Cake pick out 32 squares.

Cut the all the squares in half diagonally. Then measure 3″ from the center and cut. Move the triangle out and measure 3″ from the outside edge and cut a diamond. Repeat with the other side. You now have two diamonds a small and large triangle from have of a square. Do this to all 32 layer cake squares and background squares.

Making the block-

Line up one print diamond with a background triangle. Stitch with a 1/4″ seam allowance.

Press to the triangle, trim off the extended diamond point.

Stitch the second print diamond to the unit made previously.

Press to the diamond you just added. Stitch the large background triangle to this new unit.

Repeat the process but this time using the background diamonds with the print triangles.

Stitch the two halves together and press the seam open.

Trim the block to 8 1/2″ unfinished. If your seams a bigger trim them a little smaller.

Repeat with the rest of your blocks, 64 blocks all together.

The Layout Game- Using a design wall or the floor, layout your blocks. 8 rows of 8 blocks. Twist and turn your blocks around and have fun creating a fun modern quilt. There really are lots of ways to put the blocks together. Think of them as large fracture half square triangles.

Finishing- Quilt and bind as desired. My binding was made using 7 3 1/2″ strips and set using a 1/2″seam allowance.

This quilt finishes at 64″ x 64″.
