I am getting sick of half square triangles, so when I came across this picture I decided to take a break from then. I made this quilt several years ago for a book called Christmas Scrapcrafts. I sent all the projects to New York to be photographed and someone walked off with all of them. The only thing I got back was a few photos.
This is a super easy, quick quilt that you could probably finish in a weekend. I used fabric I had on hand but you can use any colors you want. You will need 3 yards for the large squares and 3 yards for the light squares, plus assorted amounts of 12 colors for the small squares.
Cut dark fabric into 7" squares. Cut light fabric into 4: wide strips. Cut colored fabrics into 4" strips. Sew a light and colored fabric together, then cut apart every 4". Sew two such squares together to form a checkerboard.
Working across, start with a plain square, then alternate with a pieced square, end with a plain square.
You will need 12 print #1, 10 print #2, 8 print #3, 6 print #4, 4 print #5 and 2 print#6.
For the second row, start with print #7 then follow the same sequence as the first row. The left side will start with a new print, then follow the sequence as before. You will need 12 print #7, 10 print #8, 8 print #9, 6 print # 10, 4 print #11 and 2 print #12.
