Sewing a slanted diamonds quilt block can be a fun and challenging project for any quilter. Here are the steps to sew a slanted diamonds quilt block:

Materials:

  • Fabric for the diamonds
  • Fabric for the background
  • Rotary cutter
  • Cutting mat
  • Quilting ruler
  • Sewing machine
  • Thread
  • Iron

Steps:

  1. Cut your fabric into strips that are 1 inch wider than your desired finished diamond size. For example, if you want 3-inch finished diamonds, cut 4-inch strips.

  2. Using a quilting ruler and rotary cutter, cut the strips into diamonds. To create slanted diamonds, turn the ruler at an angle and cut the diamonds along the diagonal.

  3. Arrange the diamonds in the pattern that you want. You can create a variety of patterns using slanted diamonds, such as chevrons or zigzags.

  4. Once you have arranged the diamonds in the desired pattern, sew them together in rows, using a quarter-inch seam allowance. Press the seams open.

  5. Sew the rows together to complete the slanted diamonds quilt block.

  6. Trim the edges of the block to ensure that it is square.

  7. Repeat these steps to create as many slanted diamonds quilt blocks as you need for your project.

Tips:

  • Take care when cutting the diamonds to ensure that they are all the same size.
  • Press the seams open to reduce bulk in the finished quilt.
  • Use a consistent seam allowance to ensure that your blocks are the correct size.
  • Experiment with different color combinations to create a unique slanted diamonds quilt.

How To Resize Quilt Blocks:

The first step in modifying any quilt block is to decide on the size of your finished quilt block. You can come to a decision based on a number of factors: doubling a pattern, cutting your pattern in half, or choosing the size based on your available fabric.
NOTE: When working from a pattern’s cutting instructions, make sure you remove the seam allowance before doubling or tripling the size. For instance, if your pattern calls for 3-1/2″ squares, first you’ll subtract the sum of the seam allowances (1/2″), double the finished block size (from 3″ to 6″), and add the seam allowance back in (1/2″). So, when all is said and done, you will cut a 6-1/2″ piece of fabric.
Resizing Square Blocks:
Square blocks are the easiest to resize. Simply add to your finished block measurement. For example, if you’d like your finished block to be a 4″ square, you’ll need to cut a 4-1/2″ square of fabric.
Resizing Rectangular Blocks:
Similarly to the square, for rectangle blocks, you’ll add to the length and width measurements of your finished block. If you’re doubling block that measures 3″ x 4″ in your quilt, you’ll cut a 6-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ rectangle of fabric.
Resizing Half-Square Triangle Blocks:
When you want to change the size of a Half-Square Triangle block, add 7/8″ to the desired finished block size. To make a 4″ finished block, you’d cut 4-7/8″ squares.
Resizing Quarter Square Triangle:
Since there are two cut lines and two seam lines in a Quarter-Square Triangle block you’ll need to add 1-1/4″ to the desired finished block size. For a finished block that’s 4″, you’d cut your squares 5-1/4″.
