Fundamentals Sew Along - Week 46

Hi Everyone:

   We are at week 46!  Can you believe it.   A block a week for a year and you all will have a beautiful quilt to show for it. 

    This weeks block is called  Treasure Chest.  It goes together quickly in a similar fashion to last weeks block.  Two large pieced triangles and a centre pieced unit, pieced together diagonally.

     First of all you will take your large triangles from colour #1 and #2, piece them together to make a square.  Make four of these.



Sew Large Triangles Together To Make a Square

     Next  center and sew fabric #3 triangle to the pieced square. Notice the fold line on the fabric.  That line is showing me where to line up the point of the triangle so that it is centered.


Center Triangle Before Sewing In Place

   Repeat this step, folding the fabric in the opposite direction to find the center and line up the other triangle.  This should resemble a flying geese segment with an extra triangle on the bottom.


Add The Second Triangle

     Sew the 2 fabric #1 triangles in place creating a large pieced triangle.  Make 2 of these.


Placement For Sewing Triangles

     Set these aside for now.   Lay out the 2 flying geese units with the square in the middle and piece them together.

Two Flying Geese Units and A Square

     There are 3 pieced segments to this block. Layout 3 diagonal rows and sew rows together. 


Sew Rows Together

    Press well to finish.
