"Sew", lets begin.......
Snowy Day Quilt Block #3

After printing off your PDF pattern/instructions, gather the four fabric choices & follow along with how to cut.
All seam allowances are a 1/4" unless noted!
Overlook my little helpers!
Okay, now that I have Panda out of the way, let's begin.
First grab your fabric choices, whether you want different color/designs for each block or all the
same. Grab your PDF that you printed from the link above. 
Fabric A: 2~5.25"x5.25" squares
Fabric B: 4~4.25"x4.25" squares
Fabric C: 1~5.25"x5.25" squares
Fabric D: 3~5.25"x5.25" squares
           6~4.5"x4.5" squares
Take your 5.25"x5.25" squares & match up these combinations, right sides together.         Fabric D to Fabric A~2x
 Fabric D to Fabric C~1x
Making a mark from one corner to the next diagonally. Then pin in place. Sew a 1/4" seam allowance on each side of your drawn line. Repeat for all combos, then cut on the drawn line. Press seams to darker fabric.
                                                 
The squares will be larger than needed. Trim them down to 4.5"x4.5"

Layout all squares, following the diagram on your PDF pattern. With right sides together, sew your squares together in each row, making sure you keep them organized.



Press seams to left, right, left, right sequence after sewing together each of your rows.
Press seams down flat when block is completed.





                                   
My little helper Mattie likes to sit on my blocks.

                                                                                Happy Creating,
