Giddy Up in Gingham
(About 56 x
64 inches of pure cuteness)
Trim the excess points even with the edge of
the square.
The star blocks will take two rectangles each
of a background, a brown print and a colored print.
Match a
background rectangle to a brown print and one to a color print. Match a brown
print to the other color print.
Cut in half
vertically and on the drawn lines.
Square each half square triangle to 2 ½ inches and press open.
Square each half square triangle to 2 ½ inches and press open.
Using four 2 ½ inch background squares and
the half square triangles created above, arrange as diagramed to complete a
star block.
Here is a photo of the finished block.
Repeat the process using various prints
with the browns and background to create a total of 28 star blocks. The blocks should measure 8 ½ inches.
Sew the blocks together alternating the stars with the bandana squares.
You will need 7 rows with eight blocks in each row.
Optional: To enlarge
the quilt, add a 2 ½ inch first border followed by a 6 ½ inch final
border. (Finishes about 72 x 80 inches.)
Quilt as desired. Bind and enjoy!
