Keep on reading or watch the video below for full instructions.
Draw a center line in both directions.
Draw two diagonal lines from corner to corner.
Step 2:
Think about in quadrants.
Draw a diagonal from point to point in each quadrant to make a diamond in the center.
Pin the fabrics together to avoid shifting when sewing.
Take note that you will not be doing that with a 32-at-a-time method.
Do not sew on the sides of the center lines, but sew on all the diagonals.
Sew a quarter of an inch on all of the diagonals.
Step 5:
Remove your pins and cut on the center lines.
Get one of the quadrants, and cut into the center in both directions.
After that, cut directly on the diagonal lines.
Repeat with the other quadrants.
Step 6:
Open each of the half-square triangles and press them flat.
After that, trim each block.
