And then I’m just going to take my rotary cutter and cut right just close to that edge. Now to do this I like to center the circular part of my template right in that corner. And we’re just going to cut them in pairs. We’re going to lay them right on top of each other. So I have a background right here, I mean a background and a print. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to stack two together. And let me show you how easy this is to do. So now you’re going to make 20 half square triangles and you’re going to make 20 of our drunkard’s path units. If we press that seam toward the light then it’s going to, the seam will show so that’s why I always say, press to the dark side. We want that seam to be, our fabric seam to be on the dark side of the fabric so it hides in there. So let me just start here, color on the top and press back. And so we’re going to start with our color on the top and press back. And then we just have to iron these open like this. And you can see I’ve stitched this down already.
And so then what we’re going to do is we are going to take our, our rotary cutter and just cut right on that line that we drew, corner to corner. Now I have already done that here on this. Then we’re going to sew a quarter of an inch on either side of that line. It doesn’t matter what you use to draw the line because we’re going to cut right through it, it’s going to be on the inside. We’re going to draw the line corner to corner. And so we’re going to take our two squares. And with the half square triangle what we’re looking for is a 9 ½ inch size. The first one we’re going to start with is going to be our half square triangle.
#OCEAN WAVES QUILT TUTORIAL HOW TO#
Alright so let me show you how to make this. Sometimes we just need something nice and big, fun for our bed. So it’s a lot of fun to make something big every once in a while. So it’s a lot of backing but it’s a big quilt. Or you can use one big piece of the 108 fabric. And if you’re going to use the 45 you’re going to need 9 ¼ yards of fabric for that. So the backing on this quilt is beautiful. And you’re going to need 1 ¾ yards for that outer border. The inner border is going to be ¾ of a yard. Then what we’re going to do is we’re going to have this first inner border out here. You’re also going to need the same amount of ten inch background squares because we’re going to put one with each one of those. And we have used Grand Illusion by Katya Hoffman for Windham Fabrics. So to make this quilt what you’re going to need is one packet of ten inch squares. It’s got a real modern look and a lot of movement to it. I just try to imagine what it would look like if I’d done it smaller, tinier, you know, what would happen here. We’ve got a half square triangle and two drunkard’s paths and let’s take a look at this quilt because it’s really fun. And I thought what happens if I add a half square triangle to the drunkard’s path template.
And I’ve been having fun playing with our new drunkard’s path template. You know a lot of my things come about because I ask the question, what happens if. And I’ve got a fun project for you today. Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Co.
