Quilt for Jane - Tutorial #1

As promised a little tutorial for the quilt I made for my sister Jane (and yes it has the original name of Quilt for Jane as that is how I have been thinking of it).
For each block you will need:

• 4 squares of patterned fabric 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"


• 1 square of white fabric 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"


• 2 squares of patterned fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"


• 2 square of white fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"

Draw a line with a pencil diagonally across the back of both 3 7/8" squares and then place on top of the patterned 3 7/8" squares, right sides together. Sew 1/4" each side of the drawn line.

Cut on the drawn line.

Press the seam towards the patterned fabric. Trim each block to 3 1/2"

Sew into three rows as shown in the pictures.

Press the seams in the top and bottom rows towards the middle and the seams in the middle row towards the oustside.

Sew the three rows together and press the seams towards the outside of the block.

I made 59 of these blocks.

I made 8 edge blocks for the edges of my quilt.

For each one you wil need

• 1 square of patterned fabric 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"


• 1 square of patterned fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"


• 1 square of white fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"

Make 2 half square triangle as above and sew to each side of the other square.

Tomorrow I will show you how I put it together.
