Would you like to make a quilt like this? It is so simple.
You will need:
15 pairs of 5 inch blocks (total of 30 blocks)
30 - 5 inch blocks of muslin
1 yard of muslin for borders
1/2 yd of stripe for binding

1.


Grab a charm pack or cut up some of your stash into 5 inch squares. I used 2 charm packs of Spirograph by Benartex which only had 22 blocks - one of each print. I needed 2 blocks of each print.

Cut your blocks at the angle shown above. Take your ruler and measure over 2 inches on the bottom and 3 inches on the top, then cut all of your blocks. (in the photo above I removed the muslin off the left side so you could see the cutting line better.

2.

Sew your pieces together as shown using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

3.

Press your block and then trim it to a 4.5 inch square.

I made 4 rows of 3 blocks then added a 2.5 inch strip and then the last row.
Then I added 4 inch borders doing the long sides first.
The quilt finished at 30 x 46.
