Instructions for Quilt Block
After you have cut your fabric, you want to sew your pieces together. You can choose your way, but I will share how I sewed it.
I use a 1/4″ Seam allowance. I also use a seam guide to help me keep my seams straight as I tend to go a little wild.
I sewed my left row of fabrics (fabrics A-C). After sewing, press your seams in one direction. Set it aside and let’s grab some more fabric.
I find when I sew E and F together and attach to D it makes it easier to put together the other sides.
Attach the DEF block to G again using that 1/4″ seam allowance. Once you finish this block, press your seam.
Finally, attach your block above to your A-C fabrics and press your seams. You have officially finished your fat quarter quilt block.
