A quick and easy quilt that’s sure to be among your go-to gift giving favorites! The hardest part is picking the fabrics (a layer cake and yardage of a solid)…but once you do, you’ll be thrilled at how quickly the half-square triangles and rectangles combine to create movement in this free-spirited design. A perfect quilt for the beginning quilter.  Bring your own fabric, see supply list info for details.

  • Student Maximum: 20 (0 seats left)
  • Category(ies): Quiltmaking, Piecing Techniques, Creative Connection
  • Experience Level: Beginners welcome
  • Advance Prep: From layer cake (10 inch squares):
    Select 33 of your favorite squares
    Tip: The more colorful the fabrics are, the more contrast your quilt will have.

    • Cut each of those 10 inch squares in half, then in half again to yield four 5 inch x 5 inch squares.
    • Trim two of the 5 inch squares into 4 7/8 x 4 7/8 inch squares. Set aside.
    • Cut the remaining two 5 inch squares into 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch rectangles.
    • Repeat for all 33 layer cake squares. Each 10 inch square will yield two 4 7/8 inch squares and four 2.5 inch x 4.5 inch rectangles.

    From white/cream solid fabrics, cut:

    • 9 - 4 7/8 inch x WOF (width of fabric) strips, 
    • Then, subcut into the following pieces: 
    • 66 - 4 7/8 x 4 7/8 inch squares
    • 6 - 2 1/2 inch x WOF strips {borders}
  • Supply List: Paper scissors, fabric scissors, small scissors or snips, straight pins, pencil, marking instrument (pen, pencil or chalk) and seam ripper.
