How to Piece my 2015 Charm Pack Blocks for Quilt Patterns of the MONTH 2015

Here is my how to for the 

2015 Quilt Blocks of the Month

I'm using Charm Packs, for my
2015 Quilt Blocks of the Month Patterns
If you like, just cut your squares 5" x 5"

How to piece my BlocksFrom Charm PacksUse 4 Charm Packs2 Light and 2 DarkCharm Packs have a cut size of 5” x 5”

OR cut 84 Light and 84 Dark - 5” x 5” squares of fabric you like.

( for the whole quilt)

Draw a line diagonally from corner to corner

I use a mechanical pencil.

This will be your SEWING LINE

Move your ruler to the right and draw a line ½” 

from the first line

This again will be your SEWING LINE. 

Sandwich a dark and a lite fabric, good fabric to good fabric and SEW on EACH LINE

Press each block and cut the apart, each side 

will have ¼” seam allowance

Press open and you will have 2 different size of triangles, a large 5” x 5” and a smaller on 4”’ x 4”

Cut 1/4" Seam Allowance Before Borders Added

After your quilt blocks are sewn together,check and make SURE your seam allowance is 1/4"

These quilt blocks are set on point and I always cut "offsetting" triangles bigger and I MUST cut to a 1/4" seam allowance.  Doing this your border will be easier to sew on, as points will not be cut off and the seam will be straighter.

Just one of the Many Quilter's Tricks !
