I called this project 'Magic Squares', starting with a humble 'Charm pack', in my case: 1 print Ch p. plus 1 plain white Ch.p. it looks like an intricate work but it isn't .
As many of my inspired Quilt, I found this one in Missouri Star Quilt Co. whom I'm subscribe, I felt in love since I saw this pattern
I would like to explain here, in case you like it .
1/ As said I only use, so far , 2 Charm Pack : 1print and 1 plain white cotton fabrics
For this project I would like a Table topper or bedspread decoration at bottom bed
2/ Sewing together face to face 1 print 1 white sq. all around the square :
3/ After that : cut diagonally , 2 diagonals
4/ Put aside in piles : 2 of them joining 2 prints squares and a pile with 2 of them joining white
as shown next pic
5/ You have now 2 piles, proceed to join as said : sewing 2 faced prints and sewing 2 faced white
6/ To show what I mean I joined same prints but actually what I made was to sew randomly prints HST to get variety in a single block, 1 Block = 2 rectangles so far
7/ Trim ears and excess to get accurate rectangle, press all the sew allowance same direction
Randomly
8/ You will have now 2 piles : 1 pile rectangle join prints and 1 pile rectangles joined by white
Next step for the layout in the block it is join 2 rectangles (4 HST) one of each as it shown next pic
IMPORTANT all of them the same direction you will join 4 of them in a clockwise pattern to complete the block of this project.
By join 4 Block together appears in the center a new shape : a diamond !! isn't it amazing ?
I hope it will be interesting for you ! I will show you in next post how will be finished .
Have a nice week , and happy sewing you all !
Here finished , charm rustic adorable Magic squares (giggles)

Made all the same direction, is important to achieve the correct complete Block
Be careful when pressing HST you can make it bigger :-))
