Let's break out those Wonder Cut Rulers and put them to work!
The Third Step
Important: Whenever you see a WC abbreviation, it means cut your strip using the Wonder Cut Ruler.
1) Cut 1 dark fabric strip WC 3-1/2 wide by width of fabric (WOF).
2) Cut 1 light fabric strip WC 3-1/2 wide by width of fabric.
3) Place strips right sides together and sew a 1/4" seam down both long sides. You will be making a "tube" of fabric.
4) Using the Wonder Cut Ruler, cut into 3-1/2" half-square triangles. Press seam allowance to one side.
Need a little Wonder Cut Ruler refresher, click here for detailed directions.
Make 105 dark/light half-square triangles.
Margaret sent me this tidbit of information that some of you might find helpful.
I thought maybe someone would be interested in some of the facts I have figured out using FQ's.
You get 6 - 3 1/2" squares out of 1- 3 1/2" strip.
5 strips out of 1 FQ.
With the WCR you get 5 strips from a FQ and 8 HST out of one strip.
So a total of 40 HST from one
Okay girls, we have the makings of a quilt, or do we?
The answer is yes!
