Center your point of the triangle at the center for the 9-patch block

Cut NOTHING. not seam allowance, not points.

Add the side triangles, even with the edge, let any extra go to the point end.

Add opposite side triangle as before.

I like to sew each row together and then add that row to first one,

Just the way I do it.

Nine Patch Table Topper Quilt Pattern - Picking Background Fabric

Part Three

Background fabric

The best way is to.....just lay it all out 

This purple paisley is the one I thought would work?

NO.

Rust

Darker, deeper purple

WHICH ONE ?

The Quilt Ladies Store

I went with the rust color, border, not liking.

Cut 4 Squares - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Cut 4 Squares - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" Cut from Corner to Corner Half Triangles
these are your edge triangles

Cut 1 Squares - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" 
Cut from Corner to Corner and again
Cut from Corner to Corner  Quarter Triangles 

TIP:

When cutting your corners and side triangles, I always cut them 1/2" to 3/4" larger then needed. Fabric does not stretch and I just cut it down.

Next Sewing center together

9-Patch Table Topper Quilt Pattern Part 2

 With cutting finished it's time to sew

The Quilt Ladies Store

With smaller blocks:

Use the same 1/4" seam allowance you always do.

After sewn, cut the seam allowance down. 

I like to press my seams on the center row to the outside,
and the top/bottom rows to the inside. This is the way, I like to do it, but as long as they are opposite?? it's all good. 

I pin everything, again, use a 1/4" seam allowance
and cut it down or in half.

 All the bottom

The Quilt Ladies Store

Trim seam allowance

Press on the back and front both

Finished block

Each block has a finished size of 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Do these steps 9 TIMES

Stop back in a few days !

This is machines pieced and at my group now I'm hand quilting.

In the class you learned cutting, piecing, hand appliqué and putting it all together. An 8 week class.

Squares and triangles quilting staples!!

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 !
