I’ve been sewing! And I love these blocks. I thought today I would show how I approach sewing these blocks. Of course, designing is the first part!

I use a wool mat to transfer pieces to and from the machine and design wall. My squares were cut 3 1/2”. The side triangles are 5 inch QSTs. The corner triangles will be 3 inch finished HSTs.
First I sew diagonal rows. You can see that my side triangles are oversized.

I press the rows and trim off the dog ears.

Sew the rows together, press, and trim dog ears.

Add the corner triangles.

Trim to 13 1/2 inches.

Here you can see how I pressed the seams.

Back to sewing. Have a great day!
I’ve been wanting to make Granny Square blocks but most patterns have bias edges on the side triangles. Yours don’t! Thanks for the tutorial.
