Join me this year as I provide instructions for how to make a different quilt block each month. Eventually, all these blocks will turn into a great quilt! For the last month of December, we are making the Anna's Choice Quilt Block.
For a 12 inch finished block (12.5 inch unfinished), you will need to cut the following:
Cut
Light Color
- 8 of 4 x 4 inch squares
Dark Color
- 8 of 4 x 4 inch squares
Sew
Make the half square triangles.
On the back of the light color four inch squares, draw a diagonal line, corner to corner.
Pin a dark color four inch square to the background square, right sides together.
Stitch on both sides of the drawn line, a scant 1/4 inch away.
Cut on the drawn line, and press to the dark side.
Trim to be 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches square each.
Layout the half square triangles to match the picture and stitch them together in rows. Press each row in alternating directions.
Then, stitch the rows together. Press again.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
Check back each month for a new How-To tutorial of different quilt blocks! To see the other blocks, just search my blog for Quilt Guild Block of the Month.
This block will be available as a PDF digital download later on, but please check out the other blocks that are available for download here.
(This is classic block that has been designed by many people but these instructions are written by me.)
