Summer Table Topper Quilt Tutorial
Sew
1
Create half square triangles:
Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of the 3 3/8″ white squares.
2
Sew a seam on both sides of the line 1/4″ away from it.
3
Cut along the line.
4
Press open with the seam towards the darker side. Trim to 2.5″, being sure that the seam runs diagonally from corner to corner.
5
Assemble:
Sew together 4 of the half square triangles as shown. You will create 9 of these blocks (3 of each colour). Each completed block should measure 4.5″ square.
6
Assemble blocks with larger white squares as shown. Sew the long white strips as a border around the outside edges.
Quilt your table topper as desired (I did some simple free motion quilting) and bind.
