Today I learned to sew dutchman’s puzzle quilt. I took some pictures while making it.

This is the example that was provided by the teacher. I have to make  8 big triangles and 16 small triangles and assembled it into one big square.

This is how my result compared to the example. My result is still far from perfect. I need more practice on quilting.

I shared the pictures and tried to make a simple tutorial here.

I have to choose 4 different motifs, and it took me a while since I’m still inexperienced to mix and match fabrics.

After cutting 8 big triangles and 16 small triangles with rotary cutter, I started to join the left small triangle with the big triangle.

After sewing I need to iron the back of the fabrics. Iron to the darker fabrics direction.

Continue with the right small triangle and after that I had 2 small rectangles.

On the next step I need to join the small rectangles to make a small square. I have to make sure the top of triangle is not overlapped. I checked before starting to sew and use pins to help me.

I need to make 4 small squares.I joined the 2 small squares and at the end join the 2 big rectangles as 1 big squares

For the last step, I start to sew from the middle of the rectangles to the right and left side, to make sure the triangle in the middle is still triangle and not something else ^_^

I finished 2 dutchman’s puzzle quilting block today, but I still don’t know what will I make from those blocks. Any ideas?.

Anyway, you can find more references on this and this site.

Happy quilting ^_^
