Tutorial - Plus Sign Quilt

I recently completed this plus sign quilt for a client. This worked up so fast, I finished it in less than a week. I'll walk you through the process, which is easy to follow along for beginners.

Dimensions

Completed Size: 80 x 96

10 Columns and 12 Rows

Cutting Instructions:

Lets first cut strips from your fabric yardage.

• Cut 3inch x WOF in White - you will need 22 strips

  • sub-cut 3x3 white squares - you will need 240 squares

• Cut 3inch x WOF in Blue - you will need 11 strips

  • sub-cut 3x3 blue squares - you will need 120 squares

• Cut 8inch x WOF in Blue - You will need 12 strips

  • sub-cut 3x8 blue rectangles - you will need 60 rectangles

• Cut 8inch x WOF in White - you will need 12 strips

  • sub-cut 8x8 white squares - you will need 60 squares

Sewing Instructions:

There are three parts to the plus sign, which we're going to consider a 'row'

• First Row - 3x3 squares

  • Sew a White and Blue square, right sides together

  • Iron to the dark side

  • Sew remaining White square to the other side of the blue square

  • Iron to the dark side

• Second Row - 3x8 rectangle

  • Sew first row and second row

  • Iron to the dark side

• Third Row - 3x3 squares

  • Sew a White and Blue square, right sides together

  • Iron to the dark side

  • Sew remaining White square to the other side of the blue square

  • Iron to the dark side

  • Sew right sides together to the second row

    
    

Now all you have to do is arrange your blocks and sew them together. Sew a plus sign block and a white 8x8 block, and continue to alternate your rows.

Its that simple and works up so quickly. You can make it as big or as small as you want!
