Of course, it’s possible for you to also make it into a quilt, if you want.
Just add more blocks to each row.
To make this quilt, you only need 2 fabrics, one light and one dark.
The first thing you should probably do is to make half-square triangles.
There are tons of methods on how to do it.
Just choose the one that works for you the most.
once you nail the half-square triangles, you should probably form them in a pinwheel.
If you already made pinwheel blocks before, this will be much easier to make.
The pinwheel is then cut four times to get 9 squares.
Do the same for fabric B.
Step 2:
Place one fabric A square and one fabric B square right sides together.
Next, cut directly on the line and press them open.
Repeat with all the other squares to get 40 half-square triangles.
Step 3:
Get 4 HSTs.
Arrange them in a pinwheel pattern and sew to make a block.
It will be 8 3/4.
Trim it down to 8 1/4 x 8 1/4.
Step 4:
Make four cuts 2 vertical and 2 horizontal.
Start on the left side of your block.
Cut it at 2 3/4, then make another cut at 2 3/4.
Repeat from the bottom up at 2 3/4 twice.
You will get 2 3/4 squares.
Do not move them.
Step 5:
Turn the 8 outside squares to make the dash.
Sew them in rows.
Once done, sew the rows together to make the pin dash block.
It should measure 7 3/8.
Step 6:
Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the other blocks.
