The original version of this project was made in a patriotic colorway using Vintage by Sweetwater. For this remix, we're showing you how it looks in Sunday Brunch by Basic Grey, which is hitting quilt stores this month.
Instead of using a two color palette, I added a third color for this one - yellow, pink and aqua to make it feel more like Spring.
This is a relatively easy and beginner-friendly pattern. However, I did want to share a tip for piecing this one to help keep things accurate as you assemble the block. This project uses a diagonal seam method (or sometimes called "snowball corners") to create the angled point in the block. Any time I sew these, I always take a quick minute to clean up the unit by checking the size and trimming, if needed. When I press these corners, I am also careful to "press" vs "iron" - by this I mean I will lift the iron to move it vs push the seam with my iron. This will help avoid distorting the fabric.
