TUTORIAL: Diamond Square Block

Over the past few weeks, I've had so many requests from you all to make a tutorial showing you how to make this block! Inspired by the quilt I'm making a friend for her birthday, here's the simple way of how to make the Diamond Square Block!

This block is made up of x16 5" HSTs and measures approx. 18.5" squared.

Measurement & Cutting info:
You will need to cut:
- x8: 5.5" white squares
- x8: 5.5" squares from an assortment of print or coloured fabric (x1 of each)

A quick low-down of the steps to take:
1. Pair, sew, cut, press and trim the squares to make x16 HSTs.
2. Lay out the HSTs into the Diamond Square block design.
3. Sew the squares into four rows of four.
4. Press each seam on the back of the rows flat open.
5. Sew each of the four rows together to form the block.
6. Press and square up the block to finish.

For more detailed instructions on how to make this block, simply follow along with the steps in the video!
