MAKING BLOCK A

NOTE: There are two different kinds of blocks

to be constructed for this quilt with different

fabric combinations. Block A is made up

with 4¼in x 15½in strips from the Rapture

collection and White Linen. Every block fabric

combination is different, but they all use

the same construction.

2

Take two 4¼in x 15½in strips from Fabric A,

one 4¼in x 15½in strip from Fabric B and

one 4¼in x 15½in strip from Fabric C.

3

Attach one of the strips from Fabric A

to Fabric B and sew them in the order AB

(Fig 1). Take a 12in square ruler and place it

on top of the sewn strips. Turn the ruler

45-degrees and align the top corner of the

ruler to edge of Fabric A (Fig 2).

4

Cut the triangle using a rotary cutter and

make two marks on each side 10¾in down.

5

Place the ruler horizontally across the two

marks (in a straight line) and cut the excess

fabric, as in Fig 3.

6

Repeat with remaining strips from Fabric C

and A – this time sew them in order CA,

and when cutting the triangle place the corner

of the ruler on top of the edge of the C strip.

7

Attach both triangles together on the long

side of the fabric to make a 10½in square

(Fig 4). Press seams open. Repeat the previous

steps to make seventeen squares.
