This is one of the Fat Eighths - there is one for each of the 24 different fabrics (12 red and 12 white/cream) |
Fold the Fat Eighth lengthwise |
Straighten the edge to make sure your next cuts will be perfect |
First cut is 1-1/2" for the small corner stones |
From the side you cut the 1-1/2" row, cut across 3-1/2" |
Make a second cut at 3-1/2" - you will now have 12 - 3-1/2" squares in this fabric - you will copy this step for all 24 fat eighths |
Go back to the 1-1/2" strip and cut as many 1-1/2" squares as the strip allows |
After you have cut all of your red and white 3-1/2" squares, you will put an opposite color corner stone in one corner and pin |
Take a pencil and mark the corner stone from one edge to the other |
Sew across the pencil line |
Trim the corner with scissors, leaving a 1/4" seam |
Press the corner stone open with the seam going toward the red. On the white blocks, the corner stone will also be pressed toward the red |

I bought this quilt kit from you last June in Panguitch, Utah. Just now getting to it. all the red is cut. The blue - After I did a tiny cut to straighten the edge I cut my binding pieces 2 1/4", I started cutting the 3 1/2" and now I am about 5 pieces short. And, Yes I cut very carefully. I am in Florida, all my other fabric is in Tennessee so I am at a loss as what to do.
I bought this Flag Quilt Kit in Layton, Utah a couple years ago. I think I am finally going to start on it. I was hoping for a full tutorial is there more instuction beyond cutting and sewing on the corner pieces? Is there a video tutorial that shows instruction clear to the end?
Be very very careful when cutting. U will probably have some selvedges left in this quilt. After cutting all the blue i was short some squares. Ended up buying another blue to use in the quilt. The blue from this kit will be used somewhere in another quilt.
