Wonder Cut Ruler
Virtual Quilt Retreat!
So, up to this point, you
should have:
35 - light two-patches
35 - dark two-patches
35 - light 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" squares
35 - dark 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" squares
105 - 3-1/2" dark/light half-square triangles
Let's start putting the pieces together! All seams are 1/4".
The Fourth Step - Block Construction
Each block will contain:
1 - dark two-patch
1 - light two-patch
3 - 3-1/2" dark/light half-square triangles
1 - 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" light square
1 - 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" dark square
Row 1:
Assemble one dark two-patch with one dark/light half-square triangle as shown. Make 35 rows.
Row 2:
Asemble one dark 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square, one dark/light half-square triangle, and one light 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square square as shown. Make 35 rows.
Row 3:
Assemble one dark/light 3-1/2" half-square triangle with one light two-patch as shown. Make 35 rows.
BLOCK ASSEMBLY:
Combine Rows 1 and 2 as shown:
Add Row 3 as shown:
Make a total of 35 blocks.
Now comes the interesting part. Every quilter brings something unique to each quilt they make. You've got 35 blocks - let's see how everyone puts them together. If you have a design wall, now is the time to use it. For those of you (like me) that don't have the luxury of a design wall, I've posted a page with the block diagram so you can print the page, cut out the squares and play with a layout that is all your own. Click here for the Block Diagram Page. Remember, this is your quilt. If you would like to make your quilt larger, just make more blocks. This is an interesting quilt as it looks good with or without borders.

It's been an interesting and fun adventure on our part. We hope it has been the same for you. Until next time, may all your quilts be "wonder"ful! Alice & Deb
