![]() ![]() And I’m just going to use a pen to do that and then one more here. Alright so the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to draw a line side to side on these. So I have a little pile of those cut right here.Īlright so the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to make our corner blocks out here which are half square triangles. And you are going to need eight 2 ½ by 4 ½ inch rectangles. You’re going to cut two squares for each block, you’re going to need two five inch squares. So you’ll need one for this quilt right here. And these are going to be the centers of four of your blocks. And then come in 4 ½ and do one more 4 ½ right over here. And then I’m going to layer these and I’m going to cut them at 4 ½ as well. And that will leave me with a little strip that is just perfect for my crumb bin. And then I’m going to cut the next strip 4 ½ as well. So what I’m going to do is I’m just going to take this right here and line it up on the 4 ½ inch line. Oh let’s see, how about blue? So out of your center squares, those blocks are going to be cut at 4 ½. Out of your center squares, let’s find something fun here. So keep those together, that makes a block. And so we’ve got here, two and then, let’s see here, four. And we’re going to cut these into eight 2 ½ inch squares. Now with this piece we’re going to cut it into two 2 ½ inch strips like this. And you will need, each one of these layer cakes makes a full block. And then we’re going to turn this and we’re going to cut this this way. And so we’re going to lay our ruler right along the edge and we’re going to cut two fives right here. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to cut two five inch squares out of this. So once you separate your squares, 30 and ten, then you’re going to go to the 30 pile and that’s what we’re going to start by making our block out of. So you want to kind of mix those up as well so you have some different things to choose from. And then the other ten are going to be our centers, our middles. And the first thing we’re going to do is we are going to take 30 squares out of our layer cake and choose them. You’re going to be amazed at how quickly it goes together. And for your backing you’re going to need 5 ¼ yards of a 45 inch wide or 2 ¾ yards of a 108. For your border, you’re going to need 1 ¼ yards of border fabric. You’re also going to need 3 ¼ yards of background fabric. And we have used Bliss by Northcott Fabrics. So to make this quilt you’re going to need one packet of ten inch squares. And I can hardly wait to show you how to make it. So we’re calling it the Big T Origami block. And to me it just looks like origami when you get it all together. This is an old antique block called the Big T. Isn’t this gorgeous? First of all, a fabric can make a pattern and this fabric is beautiful. ![]() And I’ve got a fun project for you today. Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. ![]()
