Hello and welcome to quilt making. Here is a simple half square triangle quilt with easy instructions.
Finished quilt measures 26’’x41’’

Cut 40 pieces of 6’’ squares from 6 Fat Quarters. (6 colours) I have taken a few extra pieces from some colours and a few less pieces from other colours,
as I wanted a more modern quilt. This will break the monotonous repetition. For example; take 9 pieces from one colour and only 5 from the other colour.
You need total of 40 squares.

Overlap any two colours of the fabric and draw a diagonal line on the top fabric. Stitch a quarter inch seam on both sides of the line. Now cut on the line.
This will give you two half square triangle squares.

When you cut them apart they look like 2 triangles, and when you open them you will have 2 squares.

Press open each triangle and you will get a square like this. Do the same with all the 40 squares.
Always overlap them with a different colour to get a square made of two triangles in 2 colours.

Join 5 squares in a row and then join the rows together. You will have 8 rows, and each row has 5 squares.
This should complete the top of the quilt.

Now lay your backing fabric (almost a yard of fabric) on a big table or floor, wrong side of the fabric facing you and put the batting on top of it,
finally lay your quilt top over it and pin the 3 layers with quilting pins. Pin on each joint, this will prevent your 3 layers to move and you will be able to quilt easily.

Using a fabric pencil marker and a ruler, draw the lines wherever you want to do the hand quilting.
I have kept it easy and simple with only a couple of horizontal lines. (8 lines to be precise, which means 1 hand quilted line across each row).

With easy running stitches, complete the quilting. Keep the stitches even, on the front and also at the back.

After the quilting is done, Stitch a 2 inch binding on the front side, going all the way around.
Turn the binding over to the back side and secure the binding with hand stitches.

I hope you enjoy making this simple baby quilt, as much as I did.
