I watched a Youtube on making a Chevron quilt. The demo was using a Layer Cake, but I thought I would make my own with 6" squares.
Cut 6" strips WOF and then again cut into 6" squares.
Pair up a white square with one of the color fabric squares. Sew all the way around. (I love this method)
With your trusty rotary, cut the sewn square in an X.
Press your seams to the dark fabric.
Line up the Chevrons and start sewing the blocks together.
Happy Quilting!

Pretty fabrics! Please be sure to share this as you go along.
Once you start putting your blocks into rows will you press seams open?
I really love the fabrics you chose - definitely adds some texture look to your chevrons. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Wow, what a neat little tutorial here-something I could do. What a neat design, Jocelyn. Thanks!
This looks lovely. You make it look so simple. It will be a gorgeous quilt.
One issue I see is that the bias edge is on the outside of your individual blocks. Watch out for stretch!
“Sew” cute. That is a quick easy way to make HST. I did a rainbow one a few years ago.
I thought I knew every way to make half square triangles. This is a new method to me. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
