Clean and Simple Wall Quilt

Today have decided to share a small wall quilt pattern.  For this quilt I used six different prints, one solid, and a background color.

You will need:
1/3 yd solid
1/2 yd backing
1/4 yd of five prints (you will have plenty of extra fabric)
1/2 yd of print use excess as binding
Coordinating thread

To start you will want to cut the solid into thirty four 2.5 X 2.5 squares, cut eleven in half to form a 45-45-90 triangle.

Then create three 2.5 X 2.5 squares out of each  print, cut all of these in half to create 45-45-90 triangles.
Set the pattern on a flat surface and begin to sew lengthwise strips together.
After you have finished sewing the front I would recommend using a basting spray to keep the backing, batting, and front together, then sew accost the quilt making line that are 1/4 in apart.  Finish the quilt by creating bias tape to cover your open edges.
