Here's a free pattern to use with the
Wonder Cut Triangle Ruler. It's fun, it's easy, and a "wonder"ful
way to use up scraps. This quilt can be made any size which makes
it really versatile. My thanks to mgt for her help in test
driving this pattern! Lots of pictures for you to look at.
We'll walk you through every step of the way.

Ready? Here we go!
1) Using the Wonder Cut Triangle Ruler, cut strips on the "2" line by width of fabric.
2) Turn the Wonder Cut Triangle Ruler to
the side. Line up your fabric on the "4-1/2" line. Make one
cut.
3) Cut along opposite side.
4) Turn strip of fabric over and line up
on cut side and continue cutting down remainder of strip. You
may stack your strips
and cut as many pieces at a time as you are comfortable with.
5)
Now that you have your pieces cut, let's put them together. Put
two pieces right sides together with a 1/4" seam as shown.
6) Continue adding pieces to the
top of each row as shown.
7) One of the great things about
this quilt is that you can make it any size. I've done my samples
in rows of 5. You can change how this quilt looks by making one
row in lights and the next row in darks. To ease putting the rows
together, alternate the pressing direction (i.e. press one row up and
the next row down).
8) When you have assembled your rows to make your quilt center, square your center and add borders. I like to set mine with a smaller inside border, followed by a larger outside border.
Useful Information
From one fat quarter, you can cut 20 units
9 units from a strip cut WOF
A quilt set 8 rows across and 35 units down (280 units) will yield a quilt top 50" x 50"
Thanks again mgt! You are a doll! - Deb
