Meet the February Block. Just like last month's block, there are instructions for 24" and 36" versions and a couple of examples on how to use the blocks to make your own Giant Block quilt.
24" Block Quilt Idea
This quilt finishes at 68" x 68." To make this quilt, you will need to make (5) of the 24" blocks.
Corner triangles: Cut (2) 18" background fabric squares. Cut along one diagonal to make (4) corner triangles.
Side triangles: Cut (1) 35.25" background fabric square. Cut along both diagonals (in an X shape) to make (4) side triangles.Piece together the quilt with the blocks on-point. If you are unfamiliar with on-point quilts, check out this great tutorial.
36" Block Quilt Idea
This quilt finishes at 45" x 45" and is super quick to put together. Note: the block below shows the binding to help outline the edge of the quilt
You will need to make (1) of the 36" blocks and (32) 4.5" x 4.5" HSTs. You will also need (4) 4.5" x 4.5" squares of the background fabric for the corners.
After you piece together your 36" block, add a border of HSTs.
I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial! If you make a block or a quilt using these instructions, I would love to see a photo! You can use the hashtag #GiantBlockTutorialSeries on Instagram or send me a photo or a link to your project. I will be pinning all of the projects to the Giant Block Tutorial Series Pinterest Board.
