This is probably my favorite part of the quilting process. Putting it all together ! When I first took a quilting class, the teacher talked about the three steps of making a quilt, 1) the idea/purchase, 2)the making of the quilt, 3) finished, the quilting/binding.
I think of this often, as I really LOVE the idea/purchase part, but a stack of fabric or blocks can NOT be called a quilt.
SO….Let’s start to put the quilt together.

Cut 6 Background – 2 1/2″ x 14 1/2″ Cut 9 Red – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2 as shown above

This Holiday Season I’m doing a complete quilt pattern for you here on this site, every few days I will post a new part of the pattern. The finished quilt is fifty inches by fifty inches and can be made smaller or larger just by adding or reducing the borders sizes.
The quilt is made up of two different quilt blocks, square corners, pieced borders and solid outside borders. This is quilt block one. HERE is how I made my quilt triangles

From The Quilt book which started my quilt pattern company “The Ladies” quilt pattern book. “The Ladies” are The Quilt Ladies. They quilt every Tuesday together and after years of doing that, they’ve decided to do a quilt pattern book. So “The Ladies” was born, a quilt block sampler pattern book with 68 – Eight by Eight Inch quilt pattern blocks. If you make the quilt as in the book the finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ All straight pieced, all cutting and piecing instructions included.
Quilt Block has a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.
