For a Square:
Take the size of the finished square that you want in your quilt and add 1/2". This is 1/4" on each side.

For example: 2 inch finished square + 1/2” for seams = 2 1/2” cut square

For Half-Square Triangles:
Take the finished size of the square that you want in your quilt and add 7/8". This includes the inside diagonal seam as well as the outside seams.

Example 2” square + 7/8”= 2 7/8” cut squares. Place then right sides together and draw a diagonal line. Sew 1/4” away on each side of line. Cut apart to for two half square triangles.

For Quarter-Square Triangles:
Take the finished size of the square you want in your quilt and add 1- 1/4". This includes two diagonal seams as
well as the outside seams.

Example: 2” square + 1 1/4”= 3 1/4” cut squares. Place right sides together and prepare as for half square triangles. After pressing open rotate and place right sides together and draw a line so that it crosses the original seams. Sew 1/4” away from each side and cut apart Press open for two quarter triangle squares without messing with bias!

We will be starting a group project soon! It will be a Chicken Little Quilt! The pattern provided by Mindy will be divided up and we will each make one block (multiplied by # of participants). We will have 4 months to complete our blocks . Sign-up sheet is available. We are still hoping for more sign-ups! There will be a copy fee if you want the pattern for the entire quilt!
