I used a 24″ long ruler to make this cut. Be careful! Make sure to leave a 1/4″ seam. You can trim the side and corner blocks before you sew them into the quilt top. A 16 1/2″ square ruler makes this much easier to do. Refer to the pattern diagrams for piecing these corner triangle pieces.Īfter sewing these corner triangles you will need to trim the blocks. You will have 40 triangles for the block corners. Then cut 20 6″ squares from these strips. To make it easier to piece the corners I cut oversized pieces and then trim the block afterwards.Ĭut three 6″ strips. That seam is pressed towards that 5th triangle.įor each of the corner blocks sew a pair of triangles together and then sew the third triangle to one side of the block. I press seams open except for the last triangle. To finish sew a fifth triangle to one side of the block. This one is the center block.įor the Side Blocks sew two pairs together. You will have four blocks with the cable on the bottom, and one with the cable at the point. I prefer to press all my seams open for these blocks.

Then sew two sets together, and then the two halves together. Refer to the pattern diagrams for piecing the blocks.įor each of the 5 center blocks sew four pairs of triangle pieces together. Take 4 of the sets of the triangles with the cable at the point of the triangle and separate them into sets of 5 for the side blocks and sets of 3 for the corners. This will let you pick and choose which ones you want to use and allows for errors in cutting, as well. You should be able to get at least 4 sets of triangles from each set so you will have enough fabric for at least 12 blocks. Cut selectively to get different areas of and colors from the fabric design. Make sure to cut 4 sets that have the cable at the base of the triangles and 5 that have the cable at the point. Make sure the ruler has flat top at the triangle point. From each strip set cut at least 3 sets of triangles using a 45 degree triangle ruler with a 8 1/2″ cutting line on the ruler. This is easiest to do with an 8 1/2″ wide ruler. Repeat this process 3 or four more times along the length of the strip. Run a second pin through all layers next to the first pin to hold the layers in place. Line up the layers in each set by putting a straight pin straight through the same place in the fabric design on each layer. Group these into 3 sets, each with 8 layers of fabric. You will have 24 border pieces that are approximately 24″ x 9 1/2″. Cut 2″ from the edge of each brown cable. Each repeat is about 24″ long.Ĭut each repeat of the fabric into 4 border strip pieces. The pattern is available from and uses fabric from In the Beginning.Ĭut 6 Repeats of the Fabric. This is a tutorial for Jason Yenter’s Winter Twist One-Fabric Kaleidoscope Quilt Pattern.
