current project

#3's firefighter quilt

(or as he puts it, firefighter kilt)

cut all of your squares 5 inches

- this is why i loooove moda charm squares

make your template,

remember it's based on half a 5 in charm square

and cut on the diagonal from different points top and bottom

i didn't want to have to trace my template onto the fabric,

so i cheated and taped the diagonal line onto my cutting mat

just make sure you remember your measurements

mine is cut at 1.5 on the top and 3.5 at the bottom,

measuring from the right hand side of the square

as i'm a lefty

this is how you place the fabric prior to cutting

use your ruler to line up the taped line....

and cut on the line to the right of the tape

and keep cutting until all of your squares are done.

now remember, you need 2 color and 2 plain charm squares

to make one block.....

stay tuned for more
