Meet the February Block. Just like last month's block, there are instructions for 24" and 36" versions and a couple of examples on how to use the blocks to make your own Giant Block quilt.
24" Block Quilt Idea
This quilt finishes at 68" x 68." To make this quilt, you will need to make (5) of the 24" blocks.
Corner triangles: Cut (2) 18" background fabric squares. Cut along one diagonal to make (4) corner triangles.
Side triangles: Cut (1) 35.25" background fabric square. Cut along both diagonals (in an X shape) to make (4) side triangles.Piece together the quilt with the blocks on-point. If you are unfamiliar with on-point quilts, check out this great tutorial.
36" Block Quilt Idea
This quilt finishes at 45" x 45" and is super quick to put together. Note: the block below shows the binding to help outline the edge of the quilt
You will need to make (1) of the 36" blocks and (32) 4.5" x 4.5" HSTs. You will also need (4) 4.5" x 4.5" squares of the background fabric for the corners.
After you piece together your 36" block, add a border of HSTs.
I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial! If you make a block or a quilt using these instructions, I would love to see a photo! You can use the hashtag #GiantBlockTutorialSeries on Instagram or send me a photo or a link to your project. I will be pinning all of the projects to the Giant Block Tutorial Series Pinterest Board.
You can download a printable PDF of all of the Giant Block Tutorials (for free) in my shop.
Urg...i would really really love to print this or save as pdf...do you have that option? I tend to save mine for later assembly and I love these blocks.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a link to the PDF at the end of the post!
DeleteI made a goal to finish 3 WIP’s before starting anything new and you are making that very difficult for me! 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteSorry! Ok, maybe not sorry! 😉
DeleteI think I'm going to mash up the on point and the HST boarder. But first I need to decide on colors!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this series of tutorials, Erika! You do a fabulous job of making everything so easy and the pictures are awesome. I'm going to use this block to make a Quilt of Valor (QOV) and would like to share it with members of the QOV group that I belong to in Kersey, Colorado. I'm going to make a copy for each member of our group and promise to include the link to your site. I won't print this for a few days so please let me know if this is a problem. Thanks for all you do for other quilters like me by providing such great resources and sharing your obvious expertise!!! ☺☺☺
