Look closely into the block.
Each of them is made of 9 half-square triangles that go in the same direction.
Can you see them?
When you combine four of these blocks, youll create this gorgeous pattern that somehow looks like an illusion!
Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on both directions on the white square making an X.
Place the background on top of the color, right sides together.
Sew 1/4 away on either side of the lines.
Cut in half horizontally and vertically, then cut directly on the lines.
Set the seams and press toward the dark side.
Do this for 18 of your squares.
Step 2:
Square all half-square triangles into 4 1/2 squares.
Step 3:
Get 9 pieces from your half-square triangles and arrange them like a 9-patch.
confirm your triangles are pointing toward the same direction.
Sew them in rows first.
Sew the rows together to make the block.
You need 16 pieces of this block.
Sew the big blocks together to finish the quilt.
