Happy August 1st and welcome to Month 7 of the Bella Skill Builder with Fat Quarter Shop! This month we finish the very top row of our quilt too!!! I'm just loving it!!!

This month we are working on our half square triangles and quarter square triangles skills by learning another method of making these blocks!  The blocks are huge this month....24" and 20" finished!!! I'm a big block fan so this was a bonus for me!

Featured Tool

Use this Creative Grids ruler to sew together eight separate 90 degree half-square triangle units, cut ready to sew sets of triangles from strips and trim over-sized half square triangles to the correct size.
