You could strip piece the navy center square and white rectangles.

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Ha - sorry to be adding to your list of must makes ;-)

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Personally, I would use the ruler lengthwise & cut the fabric in 2 inch strips...which is, as you stated, is more accurate way to cut fabric. You are using the same straight edge from which to measure. Thanks for this videi, great instructions & well done!

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Thanks for the tip!

[@laurarenda8383]

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Glad you like it!

[@paulab9363]

I’ve been eyeing that fabric line by Basic Grey wanting to buy it but talking myself out of it because I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I know! Love the quilt, but I’ll probably reduce it down to laptop size. Thanks for the pattern!

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Love this fabric collection!!

[@T_i_n_a_]

❤❤❤

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Thanks!

[@dottierobbins939]

I have the perfect layer cake but need to make this smaller. Hope I can figure it out; maybe 5 blocks across and 5 down then add borders. Need to make it maybe lap size.

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Yes - that would end up being around 54" square. Great lap size!

[@leighannehumphrey]

I can’t download the pattern either. I’ve tried on my iPhone and iPad. Love the pattern! I’m looking forward to making it.

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Thanks for letting me know Leigh Anne - it should be fixed now! Appreciate your kind words as well :)

[@terifairchild6817]

I love this pattern! ❤ Is there a pattern for your star wall hanging?

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

The star wall hanging is from Camille Roskelley's book titled Simply Retro. It's great!

[@dianepeterson7606]

Pressing seams open gives you of flatter seams and interecztions ,. Plus you don't ,have to remember which direction to go..

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

I agree, however sometimes I prefer to nest my seams so I don't have to pin my blocks and still get perfect points. I might be a bit lazy...hahaha!

[@aprilmartin520]

I love this quilt! I did not see it on your site? Did I just miss it?

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

It should be up there now. Sorry it wasn't shown on the tutorials page at first.

[@leemiller2811]

🌺🌺Amanda, the link to get this quilt does not work as of this time. Going to make it but cut down the size to twin. Can’t wait!!!

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

Thanks for letting me know Lee - it should be fixed now! A twin size would be great (and even faster!!).

[@barbaraatwell8613]

What size is the center square, you didn’t give the size

[@MaterialGirlQuilts]

It is 10"

[@rebeccagallant368]

The middle navy square is what size?

[@SirenaSpades]

@@rebeccagallant368 They are all 10". Did you watch the video or look at the description??
