OK TAKE your pile of charm squares... I used a nice solid so you can see pattern
so you take yr chARMS AND MOST BLOCKS ARE BASEDO N 9 OR 4 UNITS MAKING INTO BLOCKS
this is a 9 piece block
Now take 2 of yr coloured charms and 2 neutral charms and lie them on top of each other .
draw al ine diagonally from corner to corner ....
sew 1/4 inch either side of the line and cut down the line
YAY ! Half Sqaure Triangles
EAsy peasy lemon squeasy . these are yr corner blocks
FANFARE
now take charm sqaures 4 of and cut in half on the diagonal .... and again so you have quarter square triangle
Take a solid and a pattern . place them edge to edge . and sew down one of the right angled side be consistent .
Then you sew 2 of them together . then press. I love starch . press them good and hard.
Starch starch . starch .
THen you decide how YOU want to lay them out .
Move them around until you feel happy
See which you prefer
Amazing how different it looks
Keep trying till you are happy
Thanks for the Tutorial . Hopefully I can do it as easily as you make it look!
