Learn how to make Houndstooth, from my first book, “Simple Quilts for the Modern Home.”
Houndstooth is a fast and simple quilt that will allow you to make a bed-sized quilt quickly while building your skills. It also is really easy to customize the colors of this quilt to match your home decor, or you can get a kit to match the original.
In this tutorial I walk you through how to strip piece, how to use the 45-degree lines on your 6×24-inch ruler to cut half square triangles, how to work with directional fabric and how to pin so you get perfect points every time.
This tutorial is meant to be a supplemental guide for people who are visual learners and want to see the quilt being assembled in addition to reading the instructions and assembly diagrams in the book. All of the cutting instructions, yardage requirements and everything else you need to make this pattern are included in “Simple Quilt for the Modern Home”.
