Quilt Sampler – August 2019

Assemble Triangle-

Squares

Measurements include^1 ⁄ 4 " seam

allowances. Sew with right sides

together unless otherwise stated.

Press seams in directions indicated

by arrows on diagrams. If no

direction is specified, press seam

toward darker fabric.

1. Use a pencil to mark two diagonal
   lines in an X on wrong side of each
   purple tone-on-tone 6" square
   and cream tone-on-tone 6" square
   (Diagram 1).


2. Layer a marked purple tone-on-
   tone square atop a yellow tone-on-
   tone 6" square. Sew^1 ⁄ 4 " on each side
   of each diagonal line (Diagram 2).


3. Cut layered 6" squares into four
   3" squares (Diagram 3). Cut each 3"
   square on its diagonal line to make
   eight triangles (Diagram 4). Press
   each triangle open to make eight
   purple/yellow triangle-squares. Trim
   each triangle-square to 2^1 ⁄ 2 " square
   including seam allowances.
   4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make 16
   purple/yellow triangle-squares total.
   5. Using remaining marked purple
   tone-on-tone squares and orange
   print 6" squares, repeat steps 2 and 3
   to make 32 purple/orange triangle-
   squares (Diagram 5); you will use 28.
   6. Referring to Diagram 5, repeat
   steps 2 and 3 using marked assorted
   cream tone-on-tone squares and
   remaining yellow tone-on-tone,
   orange print, pink print, and magenta
   tone-on-tone 6" squares to make:
   
   
   • 48 cream/yellow triangle-squares
   
   
   • 72 cream/orange triangle-squares
   
   
   • 48 cream/pink triangle-squares
   
   
   • 24 cream/magenta triangle-squares
     (you will use 20)
   
   
   
   

Assemble Center Units

1. Referring to Diagram 6, sew
   together four purple/yellow triangle-
   squares in pairs, noting rotation of
   triangle-squares. Join pairs to make
   a purple/yellow subunit. The subunit
   should be 4^1 ⁄ 2 " square including
   seam allowances. Repeat to make
   four purple/yellow subunits total.


2. Lay out four purple/orange
   triangle-squares, four orange print
   21 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, and a purple/
   yellow subunit in three rows
   (Diagram 7). Sew together pieces
   in rows. Join rows to make a purple
   center unit. The unit should be
   81 ⁄ 2 " square including seam
   allowances. Repeat to make four
   purple center units total.
   3. Using cream/yellow triangle-
   squares, repeat Step 1 to make 12
   cream/yellow subunits (Diagram 8).
   4. Using cream/orange triangle
   squares, orange print 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 "
   rectangles, and cream/yellow
   subunits, repeat Step 2 to make 12
   cream center units (Diagram 9).

Assemble Units A–P

Refer to diagrams carefully for fabric

placement and orientation of seams

in triangle-squares.

1. Sew together a purple/orange
   triangle-square and a purple tone-
   on-tone 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 81 ⁄ 2 " rectangle to make
   Unit A (Diagram 10). The unit
   should be 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 101 ⁄ 2 " including
   seam allowances. Repeat to make
   four A units total.
