NEW MEXICO QUEEN QUILT

90 x 90″ (228.6 x 228.6 cm)

Step 1.1

Step 1: Cut the Fabric

1. Cut your fabric based on the chart here . To make the most of your Natural fabric, cut according to the diagram above.

2. Set your 2½″ (6.3-cm) Black strips and 94″ (238.8-cm) x WOF Black fabric aside with the rest of your leftover fabric.

Step 2: Make the Half Square Triangles (HSTs)

1. This pattern is made up of 88 half square triangles, so you’ll start by making all your HSTs. For detailed photos and tips on making two-at-a-time HSTs, refer to the Technique Tutorial . All 88 HSTs have a Natural background, so take each of your 9″ (22.9-cm) Black, Terracotta, Gold and Seafoam squares, mark a crease diagonally from corner to corner, place each square on top of a 9″ (22.9-cm) Natural square and pin on either side of the crease. Repeat until all the colored squares are matched and pinned to a Natural square. You should have 44 total.

2. Then, you’ll sew ¼″ (6 mm) to the left of the crease, using the edge of your presser foot as a guide. Because you’re sewing so many HSTs at once, I’d recommend chain piecing. That means that once you’ve sewn the first square, pause for a moment without breaking your thread to grab the next square and feed it through your machine with that same ¼″ (6 mm) left of the crease. Continue until you’ve sewn to the left side of the crease on all 44 squares. At the end, snip your threads, flip your chain of squares around and repeat on the other side of the crease.
